BOSTON COLLEGE

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

Dear Members of the Class of 2005:

Four years ago your class enrolled at Boston College. You have witnessed the
terrorist attacks of September 11, the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church,
corporate corruption, and war in Iraq. During the past four years, I hope your Boston
College education has prepared you not simply to develop your talents, but also to help
solve the challenges of today's complex, global society.

On behalf of the Boston College community, I thank you for the energy,
commitment, anci idealism that you brought to our campus. Your dreams and
aspirations have affected Boston College in so many ways, and your courses,
friendships, and activities have enabled you not only to identify and nurture your gifts,
but also to grow intellectually, spiritually, and socially. Since our founding in 1863,
Boston College has helped its students develop broader perspectives, deepen their
awareness of critical issues in wider society, and prepare for life after college.

1 encourage you members of the Class of 2005 to use your abilities for the greater
glory of God and in service of others, especially the poor and disadvantaged. Our world
needs people like you who have vision, hope, and creativity. My prayer is that you will
continue to draw strength and inspiration from what you have learned at "the Heights"
and from one another. May your lives be marked by faith, integrity, and compassion,
and may God always be with you in the years ahead.

Sincerely,

William P. Leahy, S.J.
President

The Foundations of
BOSTON COLLEGE

For any student who has stepped
onto the Boston College cam-
pus it is hard to imagine that
more than ninety-two years ago this
campus never existed. Originally
located on Harrison Avenue in the
South End of Boston, the limited
space no longer accommodated the
needs of the previous fifty years of
the university so a new location in
Chestnut Hill was selected and ac-
quired in 1907. This move was the
work of Rev. Thomas Ignatius Gas-
son, S.J., the thirteenth president of
Boston College, and the namesake of
the campus' first and most prominent
building. Boston College was found-
ed by the Society of Jesus in 1863
and began with little more than three
teachers and twenty-two students. In
1941, however, the school underwent
further expansion as the upper cam-
pus was added and later the lower
campus in 1949. Then again in 1974
BC acquired Newton College of the
Sacred Heart, which later became
the site of the Boston College Law
School and dormitories for freshmen.

The first president and founder
of Boston College, Father
John McElroy, S.J., had as his
mission the dream to spread the no-
tion of service for others that exists
to this day. With hundreds of groups
that tailor to each students needs it
is important to remember the foun-

dations of the school, the work and
dedication of those who came before.
Within these next few pages, a brief
history of the school hopes to reflect
a side of the university that is not em-
phasized as much as it should be, but
is essential to what the school has be-
come today. Looking at the Dustbowl
today, would anyone believe that the
football team used to practice there
and that what is today a serene and
spacious lawn with trees dotting the
ground used to be aii open expanse
that sports teams used for practice
and games? Would anyone walking
through the mods believe that at
one point, before the coiistruction of
Alumni stadium, students and faculty
could see the bleachers, track and
football field from the ground level?
Or that before the computer age stu-
dents had to wake up at early hours of
the morning and wait in line for hours
just to register for courses? A lot has
changed at Boston College and yet
many things have stayed the same.
The energy at a football game and
being tossed in the air after a touch-
down, the long and indecisive prepa-
ration before a party, the long hours
before a press deadline, the sleeping
bodies in the library. The school has
become bigger in maiiy ways but it
retains at its core its sense of com-
munity, its dedication for others, and
a desire ever to excel, hiyra Chai

/^ ""X^ /'^'l' ummarizing the year in a concise and

I % / ^ accurate manner would he a daunting

^^— "'^^--^ task. How to capture the grief of loss and
destruction, the suspense of election and awards results, the
joy of new beginnings and hope for the future in a pithy
statement? Both the summer and year ended in tragedy as
natural disasters attacked countries around the world. It
lost stars and leaders of both old and new, yet there was
acknowledgement that their work had not been lost, they had
worked for what they always believed in. The 2004 Election
lived up to the hype created by the press and Hollywood
and the country held its breath as the results came down
to Ohio. Throughout it all though, people united in a way
this world has not seen in many years. They united for
three weeks during the Athens Olympics. They united in
grief and sympathy for uncountable losses and they signed
peace treaties. They returned to their television sets and
movie cinemas to watch housewives defy their stereotypical
boundaries, to watch a cast of "dynamite" nerds defy the
odds, to watch a "cursed" baseball club defy history. In short,
they witnessed unprecedented sadness yet found a way to
come together to provide a foundation for one another not
only as citizens of a country but of the world. M}'ra Chai

August 1 3 - The 2Sth Olympics games in Athens, Greece opened in front of
a stadium of more than 70,000 spectators. The ceremony mixed the centu-
ries-old Greek tradition with modern technology that erased any fears that
the Games would not dazzle. For months the media criticized and ridiculed
the lack of preparation and progress of the Athens team. Despite moments
of controversy, the Games were quite successful. Photo by Associated Press

November 12 - Amid chaotic and highly emotional mourners, Pal-
estinian leader Yasser Arafat was buried at the Ramallah compound
where Israel confined him for years. The 75-year-old Arafat died in a
Paris hospital after suffering a brain hemorrhage and coma. Thousands
of wailing and cheering Palestinians entered the compound walls and
swarmed a helicopter that was bearing his casket. Photo by Associated Press

January 9 - After 21 years of bitter and violent civil war between
Sudan's government and the southern rebel Sudan People's Liberation
Movement/Army (SPLM/A) a peace accord was signed in Nairobi.
Amid thanksgiving hymns and the dancing of bare-chested warriors the
two groups reached an agreement whereby the southern part of Sudan
would be exempted from Islamic Sharia law. Phoio by Associated Press

January 25 - BC held a candlelight vigil in O'Neill Plaza to rememl > i
the victims of the deadly Southeast Asia earthquake and tsunami. The
highly attended event was powerful In its message and encouraged tun
forms ot support for those affected: monetary aid as well as prayer and slkni
remembrance. A Jesuit priest from In^lonesla spoke about the depth 'I

THE WORLD

Amidst the world tragedy of 2005 a sense of hope for the future emerged from the
rubble. In the years since the begining of the Iraq war, insurgents used car, suicide
and roadside bombings to break U.S. and coalition efforts to reconstruct the
country and institute the nation's first government since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime.
Kidnappings and foreign hostage beheadings in Iraq, the March train stations explosions in
Madrid blamed on al Qaeda, and the Russian elementary school siege by Chechen rebels of the
previous year rattled the sense of security many had prized so dearly in the past. The causalities,
among them journalists, soldiers, and innocent civilians, grew by the day. The crisis in Sudan
continued to rage as millions in the Darfur region were displaced and suffered under the civil
war. The Athens Olympics, returning to their birth place two hundred and eight years later,
provided a brief respite from the daily combat and reminded the world once more of the
importance of unity and why the games had both been created and had lasted all these years.
For three weeks athletes put aside their differences and dazzled spectators with their stamina,
skill and grace. The world witnessed and cheered the underdog Afghani men's basketball
team who made a miraculous run and showed signs of great things to come. This respite was
not to last, however, as on November Il''\ 2004, after battling months of health problems,
Yasser Arafat died in a Paris hospital. For decades he had been the symbol of the Palestinian
cause, a conflicted leader who once promoted peace with Israel yet other times called for an
independent Palestinian state. The tragedy of 2004 brought hope for peace in the new year,
but the world watched and stood humbled by nature as a 9.0 earthquake in the Indian Ocean
gave rise to devastating tsunamis that killed at least 150,000 people from Thailand to Somalia
and left still hundreds of thousands more without homes, food, fresh water or power. And yet
in the days, weeks, and months following the tragedy, while the horror and reality were still
settling in, overwhelming support poured in from around the world. The United Nations urged
donor countries to contribute money and, more importantly, materials. Through televised
benefit concerts and fundraisers ranging from the big to the small the world united through
love. Less than a week later, on January 9'^, 2005, after nearly three years of negotiations,
Sudan's government and main rebel group signed the Sudanese Peace Protocol to end the more
than 21 years of civil war. The country began to open up, money slowly poured in and the
accord marked the beginning of the first true shift of power towards a more equitable scenario.
Pope John Paul's health declined in February, prompting talks of the next possible successor.
And finally, while many mourned his passing, others saw Arafat's death as an opportunity for
Palestinians and Israelis to finally start anew their attempts towards a lasting peace. So the
New Year brought hope, hope for prosperity, hope for peace, hope for the world. Myra Chai

October - The US lost almost half of its expected 1 00 million doses of the flu
vaccine, which prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to
recommend that doses of the vaccine be restricted to high-risk groups only.
Due to a mild flu season, the demand for the country's "limited doses"
of the vaccine was less than anticipated and the demand for them
generated long pharmacy lines and waits everywhere. Photo by SAVl

November - The 2004 Bush/Kerry Presidential Election certainly did its
part in dividing those along opposing party lines. In the months leading up
to the election, Democratic and Republican citizens did their part to spread
the word. In the wee hours of November 2nd, anxious supporters waited for
news on Ohio's polling results as the future of the next president remained
in the air before the final count was released. Photo by Associated Prc<-

January - Obesity came to the forefront of news in the media as the
government acknowledged that the issue had to be addressed and rem-
edied. It has been connected to several health issues and has led to the
first upheaval of the food pyramid since its creation 12 years ago. The
government released new health guidelines on January 12 thar enipha-
si2ed both exercise and more fruits and vegetables. Photo by Myra Chai

January-February - Snowstorms dumped more than 51 inches of snuw
across the East Coast within the first few weeks of the new year. The
previous half year had brought unusual and dangerous weather occur-
rences, ranging from the destructive summer Florida hurricanes to the
winter snow showers in typically warmer regions of the country, such
as Texas ani.1 even regions of rhc Hawaii islands. Photo /7\ Bob McGrath

THE NATION

On June 5''\ 2004, the Americans bid farewell to former President Rt)nald Reagan,
who died nearly 10 years after announcing that he was suffering from Alzheimer's
disease. For a week the nation mourned the loss of the conservative revolutionary
who helped to bring about the end of the Cold War, and yet also reflected on the war it found
itself in at the moment. By late summer, several major storms had hit Florida, the East Coast
and the Caribbean, inflicting irreparable damage in many cases. Crops and houses were
destroyed and Americans worked fast to rebuild their lives. The election of 2004, only a
couple of months later, will most likely be remembered more for the zeal and passion of the
voters than for its eventual result. For months and years the Democrats attempted to secure
a viable candidate and innumerable Americans fought hard to deny re-election to the man
they believed had for the last four years ruined the economic, social, and political state of the
nation. In what ended in the largest voter turnout since 1968, President George W. Bush
beat Democratic hopeful, John Kerry, to secure a second consecutive term in office. The
election, which came down to Ohio, further tipped the balance of power as the government
prepared for a new foundation built on the influence of Republicans. Months after
Massachusetts' first legal same-sex marriages, voters in 1 1 states backed referendums making
it illegal. Shortly afterwards, amidst the shocking Cabinet turnover in which Secretary of
State Colin Powell and three other members resigned and left room for Bush to create a new
power base to advise him, a flu vaccine shortage plagued the nation. The underestimated
demand of the vaccine left thousands without it and created a minor scare throughout the
country as Americans raced to pharmacies and their doctors to guard their health. The
national and international health organizations began to release statistics citing Americans
as the fattest people on Earth and called for changes in the food pyramid accepted for the 12
years since it had been implemented. The US government and that of specific states, such
as Califoniia, started off the new year by taking an active role in promoting good health by
eliminating snack machines, soda machines, and encouraging daily physical activity. On
January 12''\ NASA launched its new Deep Impact spacecraft into the air in the hopes
of touching the nucleus of a comet and finding out more of what the comet was made of
This marked the first time a spacecraft was built intended to touch a comet and provided
the building blocks for further understanding of the solar system. Even the early year East
Coast blizzard brought promises ot renewal as the snow seemed to cover all the stains of
the previous months. And so while the US struggled with setbacks throughout 2004, the
beginning months of the new year laid the groundwork for success in 2005. Myra Chai

joined the streets when the team came home for their parade. The parade
route was expanded to accommodate for the projected high traffic and the

February 13 - Although vicwcrship was lower than it had been in many]
years the Grammys nonetheless provided some entertainment during the

ENTERTAINMENT

In the world of sports and entertainment, as in life, all things must come to an end. And
still other times things end before they even begin. Britney Spears married her friend
in Las Vegas then annulled it before the next day had begun. And yet only months
later there she was again exchanging vows. Before the whole Bennifer scandal had time to
subside, Jennifer Lopez had already married Marc Anthony. The passings of Marlon Brando,
Ray Charles, Christopher Reeve, and, Johnny Carson, among many others, evoked a feeling
that though their legacy would endure, the older foundations of Hollywood were beginning
to fade. And so as the entertainment world lost many of its most cherished artists who graced
the world with their music, acting, artistic talents and activism, it also welcomed a new group
of celebrity babies as actresses like Debra Messing, Courtney Cox, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Julia
Roberts all became mothers. On TV as well, 2004-2005 generated an upheaval in the station
power pyramid. May 2004 saw the finales of staple shows "Friends" and "Frasier" on NBC and
"Sex and the City" on HBO. While HBO managed to rebound with "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
and the new "Entourage," NBC struggled against the sudden success of ABC's "Desperate
Housewives" and "Lost." Summer movies, once dominated by big-budget blockbusters,
suddenly saw the rise of smaller, low-budget films like "Super Size Me," "Garden State,"
"Fahrenheit 911" and the surprise hit, "Napoleon Dynamite." The Los Angeles Lakers, hated
by many as much as the New York Yankees, saw the dramatic trade of Shac]uille O'Neal to the
Miami Heat that give hope to the rest of the league at a chance at the Championship title.
The fall brought a more obvious transferal of power as Jay Leno announced Conan O'Brien
as his replacement for The Tonight Show starting in 2009 and when Martha Stewart began
her 5 -month prison sentence for her part in the ImClone scandal. The Red Sox, plagued for
86 years by a curse, became the first club in baseball history to rally from a 3-0 series deficit
against the Yankees to win the American League pennant. Their later sweep of the St. Louis
Cardinals to win the World Series fulfilled the promise of a David and Goliath ending for
the generations of fans throughout the country who always believed in their team. Others,
however, found such loving support hard to come by. Ashley Simpson, younger sister of the
"Newlyweds" star Jessica Simpson, learned the hard way that lip synching does not pay off
when she was caught red handed during a performance on Saturday Night Live. The Golden
Globes came and went and with it perhaps the beginning of great things for Jamie Foxx. The
triple-nominated actor tearfully accepted his Best Actor award for "Ray" and again during
the 77th Academy Awards. For all the ambition of "The Aviator," it was "Million Dollar
Baby" that came up big at the Chris Rock hosted show, winning the Best Actress, Best
Director, and Best Film categories. It can be said that the year had its downs and its losses,
but with them came newer foundations to build on to bring us into a new era. Myra Chai

oston College is home to over 8,900 un-
dergraduate students and offers more
than fifty programs in its five under-
graduate schools. Entering this type of prestigious institution as a
freshman could be a ciaunting task to say the very least. However,
with its strong Jesuit ideals and the goal of uniting high academic
achievement with service to others, Boston College immediately
makes each of its students feel at home. Special academic programs
work as supplements to the University Core, which gives students
a unique liberal arts education during which they are free to shape
their own academic experience. No longer overwhelmed by the
University, sophomores begin to pursue a major specific to their
interests and abilities. With the tirm roots given to them during
their first two years at college, juniors have the opportunity to study
abroad or stay at BC to expand their academic horizons. As senior
year comes and goes, students continue to face new academic chal-
lenges as well as manage familiar ones. Four years ot academic
success at Boston College does not, however, end our career as stu-
dents. We have learned from our time here that these tour years
were simply a foundation for the learning that will continue for the
rest of our lives. Marisa Fusco

The Foundations of

JESUIT TRADITION

Today Boston College is one of 28
Jesuit Colleges and Universities
throughout the United States,
and one of hundreds of higher learning
institutes throughout the world. Each of
these schools was founded on strong Jesuit
principles, Boston College not withstanding.
In 1863, Boston College was founded
in the South End of Boston, Massachusetts
by a group of Jesuits, erecting a church
that still stands today on what was the
original campus. At that point it was the
eleventh Jesuit University in the country.
As the university began to grow, the
founders decided to purchase a large farm
in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts and begin
construction of what is known as the main
Chestnut Hill campus today. The buildings
on this campus are the first evidence of
Jesuit tradition that flourishes throughout
Boston College. The main building on
campus, Gasson Hall, which is home to
the university first school, the College of
Arts & Sciences, was built in its present
location with stones from buildings from the
original campus. This building along with
several of the other buildings throughout
campus was constructed in a style known as
collegiate gothic; a style strongly associated
with church buildings, and created in an
age where religion and education were very
closely tied. Boston College has made great
efforts to maintain those values instilled by
the schools founders so many generations ago.

As a Jesuit university, Boston College
adheres as best it can to the goals of St.
Ignatius of Loyola, the original creator of the
Society of Jesus and of the first Jesuit order;
his mission was to make the Gospel a reality
in his own time and place. He taught the
first Jesuits the most methodical teaching
methods; insisting that students not only
master the curriculum but to take the
material that they learned and incorporate
it into their daily lives, encouraging their
growth as human beings. According to
Ignatius, a well-rounded education was
essential to personal growth, and students
were to be educated in a multitude of fields
encompassing everything from biology to
theology. As a liberal arts school, Boston
College still insists that all students
complete a multitude of core requirements
to ensure that every student who passes
through the university has been given
the widest variety of knowledge possible.

Boston College like all Jesuit
institutions is founded on the spiritual
values that are the heart and soul of the
Jesuit belief system; and the manner in
which they believe education should be
taught everywhere. What was originally a
profoundly Christian school is now enriched
by a variety of religious traditions, with a
hope that all members of the Boston College
community will adapt what is helpful to
their own religious and ethical convictions.
Kathleen Ahearn.

College OF

The College of Arts &. Sciences, founded by the Society of Jesus in 1863, was the
first of what would become five schools under the umbrella of Boston College.
The school opened its doors with only three professors and twenty- two students.
For its first seventy years the College was exclusively liberal arts with an emphasis
on the Greek and Latin classics, English and modern languages, philosophy and

Dear Members of the Class of 2005,

Change and transition. The letter I received from the Office of
Undergraduate Admission profiling the great incoming Class of 2005, the
most talented class to date, is dated September 4, 2001. Who knew what
was only a week away?

You have witnessed a world changed in fundamental ways. I hope that
you have changed as well during these past four years. Half of you entered
Boston College without a declared major, and many of those with a major
changed it, some more than once. You may have altered your career plans,
and may well do so again.

What has not changed is the philosophy of education at Boston College.
We believe that educated men and women (for others!) should have both
breadth and depth in their undergraduate experiences, which we have
provided through an extensive Core curriculum, various majors and minors,
and a wonderful array of electives. You have learned to think critically and
to argue persuasively. You have observed how different disciplines view
the world and how philosophers, theologians, historians, social and natural
scientists and artists can contribute to policy debate. You have learned to
listen to others, to weigh evidence and, 1 hope, to change your mind.
You will probably have careers, not a single career. To be successful, you
will continue to learn and to grow. We call your departure from Boston
College a commencement for a reason -- together, we have started, not
finished, your education.

1 hope that you look back fondly on the Boston College faculty,
administration and staff, those dedicated men and women who have chosen
your education as their career. We are very proud of you, the work you have
done and the work you will do. Please remember your favorite teachers and
mentors. If you are reading this years from 2005, take the time today to
write or email a friend on campus, and bring him or her up to date on your
journey.

You have joined a new family, the more than 140,000 graduates of Boston
College. The university has prospered because of the dedication of your
older brothers and sisters. We hope that you will remain engaged in Boston
College in the years ahead. Go forth, but come back, soon and often.

Sincerely,

Aradf

Carroll School of

The Carroll School of Management originally known as the College of
Business Administration, was founded in 1938 by Father James J. Kelley who
was given full authority to envision and create a four year program leading
to a degree in business administration. Beginning with a little over one hundred
applicants, the Carroll School now receives thousands of applications every year.
The Carroll School of Management was founded on the principle that students
should be prepared for leadership roles in the classroom, in business and in scKiety.

Management

and in society. Its curriculum is broadly based and teaches students the
fundamental elements of all aspects of business prior to narrowing down
their focus and specializing in a particular field or industry. The Carroll
School of Management enables its graduates to reach their fullest potential
in a world of constant change without losing sight of the Jesuit ideals of
ethics and morality, upon which the University as a whole is based.

Dear Graduates ot the Class of 2005,

On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Boston College Carroll
School of Management, it is a privilege and pleasure to extend our heartfelt
congratulations to you. Your graduation from Boston College begins
one of life's most personal and important transitions. Your years as an
undergraduate student, with the surprises and challenges you've experienced,
will give way to your life as a citizen of the world; a life filled with excitement
and responsibilities that you will enjoy and, we are confident, will lead to
tremendous personal success.

Before you apply yourself to what lies ahead, simply stop. Stop for
several moments to pause, reflect and celebrate. Pause and smell the many
roses that surround your moment in the sun, your academic success, your
time immersed within this wonderful bastion of values we know as Boston
College, your new caring community of life long friends and fellow alumni,
and your ever supporting family. Take time to reflect on what you've learned
from the Carroll School's extraordinarily talented faculty and staff about
how to manage and lead vibrant organizations that will help shape the future
of our world. And, importantly, reflect on the vivid pallet of ideas found in
the liberal arts curriculum you've savored. These ideas will enrich your life
by serving as reminders to always think broadly and carefully about the many
important decisions you will face.

Although your years as an undergraduate student have now passed,
there is a big surprise in store for you. You are not leaving Boston College now
and you never will. For Boston College is a state of mind. As a Son of Boston
College myself, your years ahead, like mine, will be most enriched when you
continually commit your mind and soul to serving others, to learning, always
learning, and remembering ever to excel. Let Boston College provide you
strength, insight, and guidance in your years ahead. Make sure you also pause
to celebrate being bestowed this Degree, recognizing your achievement. See
it as an invitation to join the supportive and caring family of Boston College
alumni worldwide. Seize the opportunity. Go out and make good things
happen for you and the world at large. But remember, come back and visit us
once in awhile. As someone wrote to my fellow graduates and me on these
same pages years ago, you are always welcome back to this old pond. We
salute you !

Sincerely,

Andrew C. Boynton
Dean

Dear Members of the Class of 2005,

On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Lynch School of
Education and on my own behalf, I want to congratulate you all as you
join the ranks of the 140,000 men and women who are proud to call
Boston College alma mater. For four years, you have blessed this campus
with your intelligence, your enthusiasm and your goodness. Now you
have the opportunity to bring to the world the talents that you have
honed during your undergraduate years.

During your years as an undergraduate you have enjoyed the
opportunity of a lifetime. You have engaged in a wide variety of activities
in the classroom, in laboratories, in the residence halls and in the city.
Your liberal education has allowed you to explore new ways of thinking
and you have undoubtedly found new ways of relating to your peers, your
teachers, and your family. This exploration, which is such a fundamental
part of the college experience, permitted you to discover more of who you
are and how you make meaning in your life. It is my hope that you have
come to appreciate the gifts that God has so lavishly bestowed upon you
and that you have come to thoughtful decisions about how you want to
live in the world.

This is a world that changed a great deal only days after you
began your college years. The attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, brought a new
perspective on the challenges that face us beyond the gates of our campus.
You are members of a generation beginning adult life in uncertain and
challenging times. But, like previous generations of BC alumni, I have
no doubt that you will make this world more just and more secure for
generations to follow. I am confident that you will use your talents and
your perspectives to make a positive difference.

For Lynch School students, most of whom spent several months
in local schools or community agencies as art of their education, we hope
that you will continue to focus on the needs of children and families
especially those who are underserved in our society. And for all graduates,
we have no doubt that you will, each in your chosen field, embody the
goal of a Jesuit education, which is to be men and women of competence
and compassion, men and women for others.

May God bless you this year and for many years to come.
Sincerely yours,

CoNNELL School of

The Connell School of Nursing was founded in 1947 on the basis of
Richard Cardinal Gushing 's belief that the archdiocese of Boston should
accommodate it, seeing that this area was without Catholic institutions
offering nursing programs. When the school opened, there were thirty-
five registered nurses enrolled. Today, the program has expanded to include
Baccalaureate, Masters, Ph.D. and continuing education programs. It is
ranked in the top fntir percent of more than 600 collegiate schools ot nursing

in the United States. The mission of the Connell School of Nursing: "to
prepare professional nurses whose practice reflects a humanistic ethic and
is scientifically based, technically competent, and highly compassionate,"
deeply corresponds to Cushing's vision of the benefits of a Jesuit education for
nursing students. The ethic involved in such a curriculum is what makes it
unique and contributes to the school's ability to generate students who think
with both their minds and hearts. Samantha Fontellio.

Dear William F. Connell SON Graduating Class of 2005:

Congratulations to all of you on your graduation, and thank you
for the many contributions you have made to this school dur-
ing your time here. We are proud of you and know that you will
make the best use of your talents and your Boston College edu-
cation to make a real difference for your clients and for health
care in general.

You are entering the health care field at a challenging time.
New technology is changing practice and new systems are being
developed to provide better care. Recent research has demon-
strated the crucial role that well-educated nurses play in pro-
viding safe and effective care. Improved patient outcomes and
decreased mortality have both been shown to be associated with
better-educated nurses and adequate nurse staffing. There is a
shortage of nurses at all levels. Not only do we need more nurses
at the bedside, but also we need advanced practice nurses to pro-
vide specialty care and serve as mentors for others. Additionally,
we need doctorally-prepared nurses to improve nursing practice
through research and to teach in our nursing programs. We hope
that many of you will pursue graduate education.

The rapidly evolving health care system needs you! As graduates
of the William F. Connell SON, you have been extremely well
prepared for the current and evolving system. Your program,
grounded in the liberal arts and in the Jesuit tradition of excel-
lence in service to others, was designed to produce graduates
who apply honed critical thinking skills to clinical decision-
making. You will certainly rise to the challenges and bring the
Boston College tradition and spirit to all you do.

May God continue to bless you, your parents, and loved ones, as
you leave Boston College to commence the next phase of your
life.

Sincerely,

To the Class of 2005:

Great joy and accomplishment are yours as you celebrate graduation.
You have achieved what you dared to dream. The talent, commitment
and optimism you brought to studies will now be advanced in different
directions, shared in new ways.

You face a new world. Unknown challenges now widen your horizons
and demand a clear sense of mission. This world community invites
your vision, vitality and vigilant empathy for others. You are prepared
to question, to seek answers and to respond. You have anchored your
knowledge, convictions and attitudes in a commitment to others,
which is the essence of moral engagements. Life's many changes will
now always be examined in a defined context. You cannot ever leave
behind what now enlightens your dreams.

Your imagination and initiative link you today with distant continents
and disparate cultures. Your talents and many gifts call you to connect
the world's communities and carve a future of freedom and peace.
You own the greatest human freedom: to choose your own attitude in
any given circumstance. To secure your opinions under extreme condi-
tions when there is no chance of changing them is the highest expres-
sion of personal autonomy.

For seventy-six years, graduates of the Woods College of Advancing
Studies have gone forth into a world of upheaval and advanced the
noblest human cause: freedom and moral concern for others. Seize
every opportunity with wisdom and optimism. Make learning a life-
long goal. Respond to the compelling challenges with understanding
and enthusiasm.
Prayerful best wishes for all the years ahead.

Sincerely yours,

The Foundations of

LIBRARIES

As an institution founded on
research, Boston College prides
itself on the accomplishments
of its students and faculty each year.
This is evident in the university's
mission statement: "Boston College is
dedicated to conducting nationally and
internationally significant research that
advances insight and understanding,
enriches culture, and addresses pressing
social needs. Through their research
projects Boston College faculty also
fosters the intellectual development
and personal formation of Boston
College students." A mission like this
one makes it clear that the fundamental
responsibility of the school's professors
is not only to teach, but to research.
This is the foundation of Boston
College's intellectual community.
With over twenty libraries, research
centers and institutes in total, Boston
College students and faculty have made
significant contributions in not only
scientific research, hut in fields such
as the exploration of the relationship
between religion and society,
improving education, philanthropy,
and corporate conduct. Boston

College's libraries and centers offer
general and specialized collections,
services, and other resources to support
teaching, learning, and research.
Between both the Newton and

Chestnut Hill campuses the university
houses four main libraries. O'Neill
Library, located on main campus, is the
central research library and houses over
one million volumes. Bapst Library, also
on main campus, is the fine arts library and
has over fifteen hundred volumes, student
exhibits, and a four hundred-person study
space. The John J. Burns Library is Boston
College's library of rare books and special
collections, housing over one hundred and
fifty thousand volumes and fifteen million
manuscripts. The Law Library on Newton
Campus is home to law school research
and contains approximately four hundred
thousand volumes in a variety of forms.
There are a multitude of research centers
and specialized libraries on campus as well
as in the immediate and greater Boston
area, such as the Education Resource
Center, the Social Work Library, The
Media Center allows both students and
faculty alike access to resources beyond
their wildest dreams. With such a thirst
for knowledge and such vast resources
at their disposal, it is no surprise that
Boston College is known both nationally
and internationally for its research
accomplishments and efforts and it is clear
that research is one of the universities
most solid foundations. This allows for the
university to build upon more and more
in the passing years. Kathleen Ahearn.

Registration

Prior to the start of each semester, all Boston College students engage in
an age old process of course selection. From analyzing PEPs on ugbc.
org, arranging the most convenient times, and finding friends who have
already taken a specific professor, students take it down to the wire to ensure
what they believe will he the best possible schedule for the semester to follow.
Each student is responsible for meeting with advisors, fulfilling the core
curriculum requirements, enrolling in pre- and co-requisites; the process at
times seems endless, especially for freshman who are entrusted with registering
on their own for the first time for the spring semester, without the help of
orientation leaders that were present their first time. For seniors, there is
the joy of registering first, with the best classes open, the best times, the best
professors, and a final semester with at least a three day weekend. This period
each semester is where all students make choices that will create the foundation
for the semester to come, at least until drop/add begins. Kathleen Aheam.

Honors Progra

HONORS is a four-year humanities curriculum as "stLidia liumanitatis"
was originally understood in the Renaissance: a shared search for
what is humane, first in our studies, and then in ourselves. While
focusing closely on specialized subjects -- and while students also pursue the
usual academic majors from across the arts and sciences -- we still follow an
overarching logic. This is the necessary but often neglected task of integration
at a time when increasing complexity of thought impels scholars to know
more and more about less and less. Our seminar conversations respond to
the challenge of this fragmentation by asking students the basic questions
that put all specialization into a humane context: What is the good?
What should we value? What is truth? Is there such a thing as truth at all?

Cornerstone

The Cornerstone Program at Boston College consists of five
different courses freshmen can elect to take once during their
first year in school. These courses include The Courage to
Know, Cornerstone Advisement Seminar, Perspectives, First-Year
Writing Seminar, and Freshman Topic Seminar. What separates
Cornerstone sections from regular courses is the fact that the students
are led by a faculty member who both teaches the course and serves as
their academic advisor. In The Courage to Know, teachers are joined
by a senior mentor who helps students adjust to and understand life
at college. These classes are limited to a small number of students to
encourage active participation and the ability to get to know a core
group of fellow freshmen. Carolyn Dorazio.

Scholarship-
Winners

Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J. has always, as a General, endeavored to mobilize the former students of Jesuit schools,
colleges and universities for the modern social apostolate in their own walks of life. In a letter he addressed to the
alumni of Jesuit educational institutions in 1968, Father Arrupe stated: "No man is born for himself alone." The
insistence on social change in his address to the 10th International Congress of Jesuit Alumni of Europe in Valencia, on
July 31, 1973, caused more than a ripple in Jesuit circles and in the world press. Words like "radical" were widely used to
qualify the address. The word was quite appropriate if it means going to the root of the matter. The challenge of Father
Arrupe to students of Jesuit schools in Europe applies to all of us who need education or more likely re-education for social
justice and social action today. The scholarship award winners featured here have taken the words of Father Arrupe and
are embodiments of the notiori of "men and women for others." They have been recognized by various organizations and
presented with scholarships for their senior years. Here, we recognize them for their outstanding achievements and hope
that they may serve as role-models for the BC community.

Asian American Scholarship

Sarah Ha

Since their first arrival in America in the early nine-
teenth century, Asian Americans have made many
significant contributions to the development of our
nationhood and the expansion of democratic institutions.
In recognition of these achievements and of the important
and expanding role Asian Americans play in our society,
Boston College has established an annual scholarship to
honor an outstanding student of Asian descent who exem-
plifies the highest Asian American ideals and aspirations.
The Asian American Scholarship is presented annually to
a junior who demonstrates academic excellence, is commit-
ted to promoting Asian American awareness, and serves
both the Asian American and the wider communities on
and off campus. The selection committee is composed of
faculty members, staff, and administrators and is awarded
at Boston College's annual Asian Culture Night Celebra-
tion. The 2004 recipient of the Asian American Scholar-
ship is Sarah Ha. A senior, Ha is the president of the
Korean Students' Association (KSA) and is also active in
the Asian Pacific Heritage Month Committee, the Asian
Caucus, the Asian Christian Fellowship (ACF), the Philip-

pine Society of Boston College (PSBC), the Chi-
nese Students Association (CSA), and the Boston
Korean Intercollegiate College Society (BKICS). Ha
said that she was first inspired to become involved
in the Asian American commimir^- when a comfort
woman came to speak to the KSA. "When you hear
this, it makes you realize that you have to share your
history and culture. It's an incentive to give back
liuman (.liynity."

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Scholarship

Helina Teklehaimanot

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship is awarded
to a junior who best represents the ideals of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., including leadership,
service, and academic accomplishment. This presti-
gious award, given in February of the recipient's jui\ior
year, covers seventy-five percent of the recipient's senior
year tuition. Founded in 1982 by a group of faculty and
administrators, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship
has become the model for other university scholarships.
The goal of the scholarship is to enhance diversity, multi-
cultural etiucation, intercultural communication and
understanding, and social justice on the Boston College
campus while continuing to realize Dr. King's dream of
social justice and equality. Helina Teklehaimanot, A&S
'05, received the 2004 Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial
Scholarship. She is the director of the Black Student
Forum's public relations committee and chairs its political
and academic affairs committee. "Martin Luther King in
himself was someone that truly believed in love as a way to
fight against evil, and his whole idea of nonviolence was
that," said Teklehaimanot. "It's to love someone instead

Oscar Romero Scholarship

Arivee\^rgas

Oscar A. Romero is a prominent and positive
figure in Christianity. As Archbishop of El Sal-
vador, Father Romero took it upon himself to
give strength and guidance to the poor and oppressed of
his country, speaking out against the excesses of the Salva-
dorian government. Although he frequently faced many
obstacles ancJ dangers from those who opposed his beliefs,
Father Romero contiiiued to write and speak about the
importance of justice. On March 24, 1980, while cele-
brating the Eucharist, Archbishop Romero was shot and
killed at the altar by a death squad assassin. Because of his
extreme commitment to justice, he became a martyr to all
people in a struggle with oppression. Each year the Oscar
A. Romero Scholarship is given to a junior who exempli-
fies Romero's ideals in both academic and community life.
The 2004 award went to Arivee Vargas, A&S '05. In her
acceptance speech, Vargas discussed ending neocolonial-
ism in Latin America, as well as persevering programs such
as affirmative action in the United States. Vargas cited that
Romero refused to be silent when faced with social inequi-
ties and injustices and encouraged her fellow students to

of hating and perpetuating that hate, because that
doesn't solve anything." Teklehaimanot attributed
her success to the service-oriented environment
that Boston College promotes. She said that BC
has taught her to love and to trust and that envi-
ronment is what is responsible for so many talented
student leaders.

live by Romero's example. "Now more than ever,"
says Vargas, "I feel a responsibility to advocate for
the Latino community. It is difficult to articulate
exactly how I feel, but I know I must continue to be
pro-active in ending social injustice far beyond my
college years."

The Foundations of

STUDY ABROAD

Hovey House was huilt by a Boston
physician and member of the
Harvard medical faculty, Dr. Daniel
Dennison Slade, in 1879. Slade, along with
a group of prominent Bostonians, moved
west of Boston with the expansion of the
railroad. These founders of Chestnut Hill
believed that a balance of urban progress
and an artfully created natural escape would
promote creative and moral health. Slade
deliberately chose to build with Georgian
brick, a very unusual style for that time,
in order to recreate the atmosphere of
the traditional English country estate. In
that carefully planned setting of house and
grounds he found the inspiration to write
The Evolution of Horticulture in New
England, where he set out his idealist views
on landscape architecture. With his most
famous neighbor, Frederick Law Olmsted, he
furthered the cause of natural preservation
by helping to develop the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society and the Arnold
Arboretum. Until Slade's death in 1896, his
home was host to those who helped shape
the area's creative life, including fellow
physician Oliver Wendell Holmes and such
famous literary figures as James Russell Lowell
and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Today, Hovey House is home to
the Center for International Partnerships
and Programs, the home base for students
abroad and Boston College's various
international programs. In 1976, the
Foreign Study Office, under the direction
of James Flagg (RLL), begarr its first year of
sending students abroad. A few years later,
in 1979, several international programs were

established, including an Irish exchange,
an education practicum program, English
department exchange, Law school faculty
exchange and social work field programs.
Now, about 800 students every year seize the
opportunity to study abroad for a semester,
year, or summer term. The majority of these
students are in their junior year in college,
although some first-semester seniors choose
to study abroad as well. Whatever location
one may choose offers the opportunity of a
lifetime. This experience allows students to
immerse themselves in a world so different
from their own, both here at Boston College
and their hometowns. Placing oneself in a
foreign land forces one to learn about new
cultures and builds a solid foundation for
cultural appreciation and knowledge. The
ability to adapt to a new living environment
and society is a quality that will benefit one
in all of his or her future endeavors. Not
only will students take with them memories
of an amazing time spent away from home,
but a new sense of discovery and self
Academic skills are established and practiced
as well, since students face the option of
applying many of their current studies to
a global setting. This is especially helpful
to students who wish to pursue a future in
any area of international relations, or for
those who simply wish to develop a better
understanding of the complex world we live in.

Pre-Professional

For students who decide they want to pursue professions in the
medical or legal fields, Boston College has a pre-professional
program where faculty members advise them during their
college years. Students interested in graduate studies in health
enroll in the Pre-Medical, Pre-Dentistry or Pre-Veterinary Program;
courses required include Chemistry, Biology, and Physics labs, as well
as a course in English and a recommended course in Mathematics.
Students also find support with MCAT preparatory materials and
in finding appropriate internships. The Pre-Legal Program consists
of recommended courses for students interested in attending law
school atter graduation, covering useful skills, substantive areas of law
and legal reasoning, and courses about law and the legal system. In
addition, BC provides services helping students through the LSATs
as well as each step in the application process. Carolyn Dorazio.

The Foundations of

CAPSTONE

This highest stone in an arch imparts a
visible completion, a final stroke and
culmination. Though this statement
implies a sense of conclusion, it also brings
forward the idea of creating a solid foundation
from which to build on. Boston College's
Capstone Program for seniors and some
second-semester juniors is one that involves
both looking to the past and looking into the
future. In order to move steadily ahead in life
one must acknowledge and appreciate where
he or she has already been. The Capstone
Program offers a variety of classes focused
on the program's central theme of personal
development and living a "good" life. The
courses are taken during one semester in the
last year of students' undergraduate careers,
or in a few exceptions, the second semester of
their junior year. Each student becomes an
integral member of a small discussion-based
class composed of around fifteen students,
and is only allowed to take one Capstone
course before graduation. Core questions
include, "What have you made of your Boston
College education?" "What has it made of
you?" and "How will you carry out the lifelong
commitments you have begun to envision?"
The Capstone course is a culmination of
students' personal and academic lives at
Boston College, and helps build a platform
for taking everything they have leariied
and applying it to future endeavors.
Capstone programs and variations
of it are widespread throughout many other
colleges and universities in the United
States. Some involve writing a senior thesis,
developing leadership skills, and supporting
seniors in their job searches. Here at Boston
College, the courses focus on unifying "the

undergraduate experience, both personal and
academic, by areview of the moral, intellectual
and spiritual ideals at the heart of the Jesuit
tradition." In 1990, Boston College's former
Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences,
J. Robert Barth, S.J., along with several
theology professors decided to implement
the Capstone program of study here. In
doing so. Dean Barth gathered senior faculty
members and senior staff members together
to create it. In 1991, ten faculty members
led the first Capstone courses at Boston
College; every year since then three new
faculty members have developed and taught
new courses for the program. Originally,
the courses were closely interwoven with
one another, but now that the program has
become extremely popular and continues to
expand, the subjects have diversified as new
expertise has been introduced by new faculty
members. Capstone seminars fill up quickly,
and students ofteri contact professors before
registration to ensure their spot in the class.
They are 500-level University courses, but
some are cross-listed with several departments
in the College of Arts & Sciences, allowing
the seminars to count as an elective towards
the major. These departments include
Philosophy, Communication, English,
Theology, Economics, and Sociology. All
the while, though, the core themes of
personal reflection and development have
remained constant within the framework
of each unique course, new and old.
Carolyn Dorazio.

Faculty Perspectives

The following faculty members have been selected by members of the Class of 2005. Students nominated pro-
fessors because of the positive impact they have had on their four years at Boston College. These teachers
embody the spirit of education at a liberal arts college, and are what students hope to encounter at some point
in their college careers. By going above and beyond what is expected of a college professor, each of these individuals has
touched students on a new level. They have taken the spirit of Boston College well beyond the walls of the classroom.

Seth Jacobs

History

I had Professor Jacobs from the history department last
semester for American Foreign Policy II and this semes-
ter for America's War in Vietnam. He is without question
the best lecturer I have had in my years at Boston Col-
lege. He makes students actually look forward to going
to class (the fact that 100 plus students attend on a fairly
regular basis is quite a feat.) He is easily accessible, hold-
ing informal office hours at Starbucks in McElroy for sev-
eral hours on Thursdays. He also has two books coming
out within the next six months. I believe that he should be
recognized as one of the outstanding professors here at BC.

Rory McGovem

College of Arts & Sciences '05

David A, Krauss

Biology

I would like to recognize Professor David A. Krauss of the
Biology and Geology Dept., who has had a profound
effect on me and who I think has gone above and beyond
his teaching role in helping his students. Unlike many other
professors he always makes time, even outside office hours to
help a student in his class. But beyond this he encourages
students to be active in biological research outside of class.
He encouraged me to start a project that I probably would
not have had a chance to do otherwise. And he gives his time
and expertise freely to whoever needs it. He is always happy
to nominate students for awards and write letters of recom-
mendation, sometimes without them even having to ask.
His classes are also the best I have taken at BC. He truly is
an exceptional professor and deserves to Ix- honored as one.

Benjamin Janse

College of Arts & Sciences '05

Dr. Richard Rowland

Social Work

I took a two-semester social policy course with Dr. Rowland
through the 3/2 program in the Graduate School of Social
Work. Dr. Rowland is an innovative professor whose goals
and objectives for his classes are not only to build a founda-
tion of knowledge about social policy issues, but to inspire in
each of his students an ability to internalize the needs of the
marginalized and disenfranchised and be moved to action.
He himself was a lobbyist for geriatric care and rights, and
he brings his experience in the field with him into the class-
room, allowing his students to observe practical application
of an otherwise theoretical field. Because of Dr. Rowland,
after 1 complete my MSW program next year 1 will be apply-
ing to Harvard to pursue a doctorate in social policy. Dr.
Rowland's classes were well-structured and informative, and
he was the most considerate of any professor 1 have encoun-
tered to students' needs, concerns, and learning styles. Dr.
Rowland is an asset to the Boston College community and
to the greater community as well. 1, for one, appreciate
all that he has taught me both in the classroom and out.

Maria Kakavas

Classics

I wanted to take the opportunity to recognize Maria
Kakavas from the Classics Dept. She is possibly one of
the most amazing people 1 have ever met as well as the
most caring. She will do anything for her students so that
they can achieve their goals and dreams. She puts everyone
before any of her own needs. Prof. Kakavas is also incredibly
intelligent. She has total knowledge of what seems to be
everything and anything. On a more personal level, she has
been helping me make crucial contacts for post-graduate life
and helping me achieve my dreams of living and working in
Europe. She has made many calls and gone way out of her
way to simply make what 1 thought were impossible dreams
into a feasible reality. If anyone deserves an award on this
campus, it is Maria Kakavas of the Classics department.

utside the classroom, Boston College students
lead extremely active lives. In addition to the
hours of class time and their intimate relation-
ships with O'Neill and Bapst, students also develop strong friend-
ships that will be with them for many years to come. From the
first terrifying day of college when these students throw themselves
into a community as of yet unknown to them, to the last tearful
day when they must say goodbye to the comfort ot undergraduate
life, the old cliche is certainly true for these great groups of friends:
at Boston College, there is never a dull moment! Whether it is
attending a thought-provoking lecture, relaxing at a tailgate or
cheering with hundreds of other students in the Superfan section,
BC students always manage to have a great time. They build
upon their academic careers they are commended for and to it
add their own sense of fun that is so reflective of the student body.
Student life is as diverse as the students who are living it. The
foundations of the general student life are captured in the pages
that follow but the true stories are found in the hearts and memo-
ries of all those who have spent four years of their lives on the
Heights. Marisa Fusco and Myra Chai

The Foundations of

CONVOCATION

The idea of First Flight sprung
from the passion of two senior
students, Patrick Downes and
Michael Hundgen in 2003. The idea was
introduced to President Leahy and Father
Joe Marchese from the Office of First Year
Experience, who had the idea to begin
the 2004 academic year with a formal
Convocation. The ideas were interwined
and put into action in the Spring of 2003.
Patrick Downes and MichaelHundgenboth
"love Boston College and wanted to leave
some kind of mark on [their] time here at
this University." Michael Hundgen states.
"We wanted the freshmen of BC to begin
their time at our school with a memory
and tradition that will last well beyond
their four years. Boston College is a special
place filled with a deep sense of community
and compassion for the mission."
During the seven orientation
sessions held throughout the summer,
students were given a grandeur novel.
Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy
Kidder to read. The novel highlights Dr.
Paul Farmer, a man reknowned for his
kindness arid who displays foundations of
the Jesuit Community of which Boston
College is built upon. The novel focuses on
volunteerism in the largest scope possible,
the scope of an international epidemic.
Following the first several days of
school, freshmen dressed up and gathered
to begin Convocation. The evening
began with a barheque in the Dust
Bowl and a procession to Conte Forum.
Megan Greene, A&S 2008, states, "The
procession took a long time and the
weather was cold but overall, I had fun."
The students were grouped by dorms and
everyone watched as one student would

light a torch symbolizing the light of the
beginning of their college experience.
"It felt good to have people cheer for
you," said Aaron Lally, A&S 2008.

The procession continued as stu-
dents were seated and were greeted by
words of contributing men and women
of Boston College. Speaker Tracy Kidder
gave a brief summary of his novel and
introduced Paul Farmer who joked with
the audience but remained consistent
about his topic ot each student making
the best of Boston College, because edu-
cation is a gift not granted to everyone
everywhere. Paul Farmer concluded
with the message in the words of St.
Ignatius to "Go set the world aflame."

Convocation in 2004 restarts
a tradition in which foundations of
unity, education, and volunteerism are
embraced. Moreover, two seniors exem-
plifying the spirit of Boston College
made an intiative to set a new tradition.
Boston College is a changing establish-
ment built on fundamental values and
adhering to Jesuit beliefs. Convocation is
a perfect example of binding the old with
the new, where old traditions are made
into new models. Each year's convoca-
tion will include a barbeque, a procession,
and guest speakers who have themselves
changed the world in some way. Jun
Hong, A&S 2008, notes "I thought it
was a great way to begin the year and I
enjoyed being part of the first group to
do so." Convocation will be held annu-
ally to send forth the freshmen of Boston
College as they are introduced to the
established foundations and changing
traditions of this University.

SUPERFAN??

It's game day at BC. Outside, swarms of yellow tee
shirts are heading toward Alumni Stadium. They are
coming from all directions, bearing logos such as "Fly
Like an Eagle," and "Always Believe in BC". They carry
with them a wave of enthusiasm, sweeping the campus like
nothing before. Some of them are painted in maroon and
gold from head to toe. All of them are cheering with all
their might. Who are these people, chanting things like
"Let's go Eagles," and singing "Build Me up Buttercup"
at the top of their lungs/ They are the one and only BC
Superfans - the backbone of Boston College school spirit.
BC Superfans have been devoted to Boston College
since the first day they set their eyes on their bright yellow
shirts at freshman orientation. These shirts have an
incredible significance at BC, both unifying the students
and creating distinct identities for the university's four
classes. Different logos distinguish freshmen, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors from each other, separating the years,
but also uniting each class under its own unique insignia.
Although seperate, when seen together, united Superfans
create a sea of yellow that is easily distinguishable at
any sporting event. The energy of the crowd shows the
devotion and loyalty Superfans have to BC. "They are
willing to show equal enthusiasm to both the least and
most popular games without fail," as senior Jen Foley
noted. If there's one thing Superfans want to make
clear, it's that they love their school! WE ARE BC!

Shea Field becomes a parking lot
filled with alumni, patents, families
and of course BC students who a
come for good food, dtink, fun, and
football!

Much of the cailgating was done
outside the 'Plex near the sta-
dium. Food was provided during
the Maroon and Gold Tail-
sate during Parents' Weekend.

Tailgating is a tradition in some families where
children arc brought along to join in the fes-
tivities, watch the game and cheer on the Eagles.

Boston College students get to eat, drink, and hang
out for several hours before games, all while display-
ing their school spirit. Is that a Super Fan shirt I see.'

There are few things more perfect on a crisp, fall
Saturday in New England than going to a foothall
game and cheering the home team to victory. Tail-
gating is arguably the best part of the football season and
BC students certainly know how to do it in style. During
home games for two hours before and two hours after the
game, cars are allowed to fill up what limited parking is
available on campus including the Mod parking lot, Shea
Field, and the parking garages, and the party gets started.
Aroma of food and beer spreads throughout the campus
from the stadium to the entrance gate and students know
the game is soon to begin.

Some students have compared it to a picnic; you
can roam from one group to another, taking advantage of
the generosity of your friends and their families without
having to cook your own meal. Others have been quick to
affirm that it is their favorite part of a football weekend.
Tailgating is also about post game activities where the fes-
tivities continue and the real partying begins. The Mods
are the best places to find that kind of action, but BCPD
keeps close tabs on them during and after the games. How-
ever, tailgating at Boston College is not only about current
students; plenty of alumni and parents are quick to join in
the festivities. And who can blame them? It's a terrific
way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
-Kerri Clark

Tailgating this year was...?

starving students. Some of
them don't even seem to

their kids and go home."

we need a football game to
do it." - Kevin Sawyer '06

"I didn't know what tail-
gating really was until I
had friends living in the
Mods."

"My parents come to almost

Weekend

As the first weekend of October rolled around this
year, students at Boston College knew what to do.
They cleaned their rooms, polished themselves up,
and got ready to receive their parents for the annual Parents'
Weekend. On this weekend, parents traveled from near and
far bringing with them groceries, winter clothes, and special
requests for their sons and daughters. Although students had
only been away from home for one month, they were en-
thusiastic about the weekend, which usually includes meals
in Boston, sightseeing, shopping, football, and quality time
with the family. For freshmen that are away from home for
the first time, it is the perfect remedy for homesickness and
a great opportunity to show off their new school to their par-
ents. For seniors who are enjoying their last year in college,
it is a great weekend to show their parents a place that has
meant so much to them over the years for one last time. For
everyone, parents' weekend makes for an enjoyable couple of
days to share with proud parents.

This year, parents' weekend kicked off with an oppor-
tunity for parents to follow students to class, allowing them
to experience the classroom as their son or daughter does on
any normal Friday. The twelfth annual Pops On The Heights
Scholarship Gala followed later that evening. The Boston
Pops Orchestra and Boston College Chorale gave an amaz-
ing performance, providing both parents and students with a
taste of the cultural environment that is a big part of campus
life. On Saturday, parents were able to socialize with other
BC parents and students at the Maroon and Gold Tailgate
before watching the BC Eagles play the University of Mas-
sachusetts. The game ended with an impressive win, enhanc-
ing the spirit of BC Superfans. The weekend concluded that
Sunday after a Family Liturgy on O'Neill Plaza and Brunch
with Father Leahy. Overall, parents' weekend was a success
and was time well spent tor both parents and students alike.
-Lara Philips

"Parents Weekend is great
because you get to see your

a restaurant for the first time

slaughter UMass on Parents'

AHANA Leadership
Council Boat Cruise

The ALC Boat Cruise set sail on Friday, Sep-
tember 24, 2004 out of Rowe's Wharf in Bos-
ton Harbor. A sold-out crowd of 600 boarded
the Spirit of Boston to spend a night of dancing,
mingling, and socializing amidst the cool waters and
bright lights of downtown Boston.

ALC, or the AHANA Leadership Council,
holds the event annually to give students of all dif-
ferent cultures a chance to dress to the nines and cel-
ebrate diversity at Boston College. The event is one
of the largest events given by the ALC and also one
of the most anticipated. The organization reflects the
value of multiculturalism at BC and the foundation
of equality amongst all of us at this fine Jesuit institu-
tion. The foundation of diversity at Boston College
reflects the Jesuit ideal of acceptance of all races and
cultures. Students got a chance to celebrate the racial
unity and the increasing diversity of the campus.

As always, the night was sensational with ter-
rific music, delicious food, and good company. Stu-
dents enjoyed a wonderful night and the AHANA
Leadership Council was very pleased with the event
and looks forward to even bigger successes in the years
to come.

HOME

COMING

Homecoming at Boston College took place this year
over a beautiful fall weekend in early November. On
Friday evening, students had the chance to attend the
Homecoming Dance downtown at the Boston Sheraton Hotel. A
sold-out crowd of about 2,000 students met outside of Conte Forum
to load up in school buses and caravan over to the hotel where the
event would take place. The dance lasted from eight o'clock in the
evening until one o'clock in the morning, when students reloaded
the buses and headed back to campus. A DJ played both the latest
pop songs and old-time favorites as BC'ers crowded the dance floor.
Hors d'oeuvres were served buffet-style for the students, and tickets
could be purchased for beer and wine from the 'bar. The night was
a success, and students enjoyed an evening of dressing up, dancing,
and enjoying the good company of friends and classmates. Saturday
afternoon, Boston College played Rutgers for the Homecoming
football game. Typical for a football Saturday, students were up early
and tailgating outside like good Superfans should! Kick-off was at
3:30, and the stands were filled with current students, alumni who
returned to their alma mater for the event, and BC fans. Halftime
featured the welcoming back and honoring of the 1 984 Boston College
Eagles to Alumni Stadium. The 2004 Eagles went on to beat the
Scarlet Knights of Rutgers with a score of 21 to 10 in front of 41,126
fans. All in all, the weekend was an exciting celebration for Boston
College students and will bring great memories in the years to come.

clocks. Sound familiar? We've all been through it. Mov-
ing into the dorms freshman year, most of us had no
idea what to expect. Little did we know that living in
the dorms meant sleep deprivation due to noisy hallways
and thin walls, waiting in line to take a shower, and ten-
sion with roommates living with you in a tiny cubicle.
Sound like fun? Actually, it is! Despite these drawbacks,
there is nothing like living in the dorms and taking part
in late night adventures, watching movies, going to Su-
perbowl and other theme parties, and making life-long
friends.

Living in the dorms, whether it is on Newton,
Upper, College Road, or Lower, makes for a unique ex-
perience. Juniors that decide to live off campus often
miss the convenience of living in the dorms. It's a won-
derful thing to be able to roll out of bed five minutes
before class and still make it on time - that is, if you
don't live on Newton. But it only gets better from there.
Whether you live in a double, a quad, or an eight-man,
or the anything but luxurious Walsh Hall versus the new
hotel-like 110 St. Thomas Moore, living in the dorms is
bound to be a positive experience: bringing you closer
to your friends and causing you to have some of the best
times of your four years at Boston College.
-Lara Philips

"Living off campus is fun,
but I miss having a meal

The Foundations of

SENIORS

So we're here. We're seniors. It's hard to
say where the time went these past four
years. We went from the beginning of
college to the beginning of the rest of our lives,
and what was it that happened in between?
September of 2001. There we were
-starting a new chapter, standing at the
threshold ot our first college dorm room,
meeting our first college roommate, go-
ing to our first college class. Setting up the
foundations of our Boston College careers
with barely a clue as to what lay ahead and
a whole lot of things left behind. And so we
began. A dorm, a campus, and a city were
about to become home to us. We learned the
ropes. We learned our way around campus.
We ventured down Comm. Ave. We found
Who's On First, apartment parties, late night
at McElroy. We thoroughly celebrated foot-
ball season with Saturday morning tailgates,
painted faces, and yellow tee shirts. We got
to be around for four years of victories against
Notre Dame! We found out what it meant
to be a Superfan. Christine Boccieri, LSOE
2005, remembers, "Every game we were out
there, in our Superfan shirts tailgating until
the game started. And of course we would
stand through the whole thing." We always
believe in BC. We learned what it meant to
be a part of a Jesuit institution. We met great
professors, we took challenging classes, we
camped out in O'Neil Library trying to get it
all done. We went on spring breaks to Aca-
pulco or with the Appalachia volunteers. We
studied outside in the Dustbowl. We found
true friends. As Nicole Trincellito, A&S
2005 states, "When we were first freshmen
we'd hop on the Comm. Ave bus, try to find
a non-existent party, and then just ride the

bus back. And while that made for some
crazy bus rides, it also makes being a senior
great, because over three years you've fi-
nally figured out who your friends are, and
more importantly, where the party's at."
We made memories. Each one of us found
our niche. And the years started passing by.
Somewhere throughout all of it we grew up.
May of 2005. Here we are. We've
spent our last year ot college tying up the
loose ends. We spent our last year of college
celebrating. We found a second home at
Mary Ann's. We discovered dollar draughts
at happy hour. We continued to build
friendships as we built up our resumes. We
finished up graduation requirements as we
filled out job applications. We each did it
a little differently, hut we all finished with
the same ending to a great story. We are
now looking back at what people will say
were the best four years of our lives and
looking forward to all the mystery of what
life will be like in the "real world." "For
me, being a senior is like being in the wait-
ing room of a doctor's office, except that
I'm waiting for rest of my life to begin. I'm
desperately trying to be brave, but I know
I'll be ok because I've been well-prepared,
as long as there are no needles." said Joseph
Mendes, A&S 2005. As we close out our
time at Boston College, we raise our glass-
es to a home that has given us so much and
become such a part ot who we are. For Bos-
ton, for Boston, till the echoes ring again. . .

We are almost there. We've come so far and yet have so
far to go. As juniors, we are finally upperclassmen, and
have two years under our belts. New friends, new classes,
new parties, we have a whole lot to look forward to. Most of us live
off campus, along Comm. Ave., Sutherland, and Foster Street, which
allows us to really get to know the neighborhood at the wee hours of
the morn. The bus is a welcomed sight on those cold afternoons, but
it's nice to know that we don't have as far to go to get into the city or
home from a restaurant or movie. We have become pros at dealing
with crappy houses, mean landlords, and unpredictable amenities.
Many of us are abroad, having gone through the friendly people at
the Hovey House, and the stressful and exhausting process of apply-
ing to foreign schools, making sure we will be able to graduate, and
getting approval from our majors to leave, and are now representing
BC in major universities all over the world. For those of us gone
for the year, we salute you, we miss you, and we send some BC love.
Supposedly at this point we have a plan for the last couple of years
at BC and are beginning to plan for the future, but for some of us,
that means deciding whether or not to head to campus for the eve-
ning. Becoming familiar with professors, getting better registration
times, and generally being regarded by more than half the student
body as older and wiser, we, as juniors have a good thing going. But
we begin to look forward to what is coming up. We anticipate our
own mod, and are getting excited about writing our thesis. OK,
maybe not the latter, but senior year is so close we can taste it, and
seeing as we've come so far, we might as well set our eyes on the prize!

SOPHOMORES

They're the "wise fools" of the school, spread out
through college road and lower campus. With
freshman year behind them, BC sophomores are
eager to return to another year of college life. This year,
they know what to expect from living away from home, and
they feel more comfortable around BC. They no longer
have to worry about confusing the names of buildings or
not recognizing any faces on campus. As sophomore Elaina
Matoolc commented, "It's nice to be established with friends
and know how things at school work." After a year of living
on their own, they have formed friends and learned their way
around both BC and Boston. With their past experience, they
now know how to balance school work and partying to get
the best of both worlds. For the most part, BC sophomores
find themselves in a comfortable "niche" at school.
Along with the comfort of being a sophomore comes
the pressure of preparing for the future. As early as September
BC sophomores begin searching for off campus apartments to
live in junior year. Those who wish to study abroad must go
through the process of researching the program they want to
attend and applying for it in the spring. In addition, at this point
in their college career, undecided sophomores are pressured to
choose a major to concentrate on for the rest of their years at
BC. Despite the major responsibilities that come with their
second year at BC, sophomores have a lot to look forward to.
With only one year behind them, sophomores still have over
half of their time left at BC to experience and enjoy. This gives
them ample time to make the best of their college experience.
As sophomore Dan Li pointed out, "Being adjusted to college
life allows sophomores to have a better idea of what they want
out of their college experience and to explore those options."

FRESHMEN

The first year is highly remembered not onLy as a difficult
transitional period but for most students, the first step
towards pre-adulthood and independence. So, the
relief began in May from verification via one letter stating,
"Congratulations. You've been accepted to Boston College." The
anxiety and excitement built up again prior to the week of move-
in mostly expressing an overwhelming apprehension of being on
one's own, "Crap. I'm going to be in college on my own and I don't
know how to do laundry." Over 2,000 freshmen stepped foot on
campus attending their first college classes on September 7, 2004.
While some got lost, most went to class, found a seat, sat down and
were a bit satisfied with themselves as individuals who had made
it so far. For a week or longer, freshmen went around saluting their
name, and their home state along with hand shakes and smiles.
As the year progressed, freshmen settled into college life
rather easily. The readings, the papers, and the work piled up from
perhaps days of procrastination as the statement rolling off many
freshmen lips was, "I'm so tired!" Lasting friendships were built
that would endure the test of time, for these students will look
back and say, "Hey, remember when we first met at late night?"
The year went by rather quickly, and in a flash it was Thanksgiving
break. Following several midterms, freshmen were delighted to
rest for the four weeks of winter break. They conversed with
fellow freshmen attending other universities bearing a Boston
College pride. They were now officially eagles soaring to glory.
Coming back from winter break, the idea of actually
being college students had been imprinted. Accordingly, being
a freshman also connotes inexperience, new beginnings, and
three more years to go. Many will look back with regret of their
first year wishing they had done something different. Most
will be satisfied with the social and academic achievements
they have made. All will have embarked on a journey of
autonomy in a great institution we call Boston College.

You've all heard their names: Lower Live, Lyons, Hillside,
Eagle's Nest, Carney, Stewart, Starbucks, and The Balcony.
You've wandered into them for breakfast, lunch, dinner,
and in-between, searching for the meal that best suits your crav-
ings. You have a favorite for different times of the day, days of the
week, or particular activities. Whatever dining hall you prefer for
whatever reason, the consensus is that Boston College dining usu-
ally leaves its students satisfied.

This year, BC Dining made some changes to try to en-
hance the students' dining experiences around campus. Healthier
options at late night, set prices on previously weighed products,
more vegetarian meals, and "The Balcony" ate all additions BC
Dining made in attempt to improve upon previous years. Despite
these changes, the dining halls still serve many old favorites, such
as Hillside's paninis, blazing bowls, and chicken fingers. In addi-
tion to offering good dining, the dining halls continue to provide
enjoyable atmospheres for both socializing and studying. Their
prime locations make them easy gathering places for friends, study
groups, and clubs. You're bound to find a familiar face while walk-
ing through Eagle's Nest to get your mail, running into Lyons for a
late lunch, or sipping on coffee at Hillside.

The dining halls are also well staffed. Students are em-
ployed to work at the dining halls and can even work up to manag-
ing positions. The chefs always try to serve delightful meals and
overall, the dining halls are kept as clean as possible. Although
there have been a few complaints about the high price of dining
hall food, overall, there seems to be nothing but good things that

come from exploring the wonderful

FLYNN

The William J. Flynn Recreation Complex was
named in honor of the long-time athletic direc-
tor who was associated with Boston College as
a student-athlete, faculty member, coach and athletic
director for nearly seventy years, including a thirty-four
year tenure as athletic director from 1957 to 1991. But
the average Boston College student probably is not
aware of the history. The average BC student just knows
the large building with the odd-shaped roof as the Plex.
While there are some students who have never
been inside the building, many know the interior very
well and can explain exactly where one would go to use
its many facilities and services, including the eight-lane
swimming pool, the tennis courts, the 1/8 mile track and
the basketball courts - just to name a few. The Plex
also offers a wide variety of group exercise classes such
as cardiovascular training classes, weight training and
toning, and mind and body classes. If anything, it seems
that the Plex offers too much. The main complaint stu-
dents put forth is that the Plex is just way too crowded.
Though in obvious need of some renovation and expan-
sion, the Plex provides a valuable asset to the BC com-
munity.

Space for student parking is
extremely limited on campus and is
usually reserved for Lynch and nurs-
ing students who need to travel for
prepracs.

While there are some bicycles around

campus, most students find it easier

and more convenient to walk from

class to class.

Cars dot the parking lot outside Conte Forum

Bus stops are scattered throughout the campus
as half of the freshman commute between
the main and Newton campus and most oil
campus students use the Commonwealth bus

Transportation & Parking

Getting from point A to point B should not be that
difficult. But with the new parking restrictions on
campus, even those lucky enough to have a car
know that it is not always easy. Campus security has re-
inforced new rules about driving through campus making
parking tickets a daily occurrence. Students have found
new places to park to avoid long walks to classes such as lo-
cal shops, however, parking tickets are very prevalent with
this method.

Both the Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority (MBTA) and Boston College provide
transportation services to BC students to ensure no
one is stranded on campus, hut sometimes those can
be as inconvenient as BC parking. Usually, several
Commonwealth Buses and Newton Campus Buses
route through the campus on intervals to provide
convenient transportation. But the buses can run
late or be extremely crowded. Also, unpredictable
Boston weather makes it very likely that students will
be waiting in the rain or snow. Parking on campus or
off campus can be extremely expensive, but the cost is
overridden by the conveniences of having a car mak-
ing transportation quicker and easier. So what is a
young college student to do? Inventive students can
always find ways and Boston College students know
how to solve that little conundrum.

Exams

Around midterms, exams or finals, Boston College
students can he found, some sleeping, but most,
studying in the lihraries or lounges of the dorms.
Most students can also be found cursing or complaining
about the work they have to do, or how tired they
are. Most students are also high on caffeine. Either or,
students hate exams. Exams and tests may count for the
majority of grades which makes the event so stressful.

The seats and desks available at the lihraries are
usually filled around the times of the exams. Sometimes
students are even forced to sit on the floor of the
libraries. Other students study in louder areas such as
dining halls, the Eagle's Nest, cafes or outside in the dust
bowl. Students' own dorms are always a place to study,
however, most students try to escape the distractions of
the dorm, which include falling asleep and using AIM.

Finals are usually weighed more heavily than
other exams and thus are probably the most stressful
exams of the year. Final exams usually determine a
student's grade. However, despite the stress of exams,
there are places to go to get help with study material.
The Connors Family Learning Center and the Academic
Development Center provides free tutoring to the student
body among a variety of topics with flexible hours.
Teachers and teacher assistants are usually available with
office hours to help with the reading material or material
discussed in class. Lastly, students help other students
with study material and on homework and class work.

it always seems that there's

Volunteers

A sense of community exists on the Boston College
campus: we are all eagles. In a broader sense, the student
body tries to deal with the worldly issues through
volunteering. It is through volunteering that we find a sense of
each other and ourselves. Volunteering is putting a Jesuit ideal
into action. Through organizations and clubs, students enter
into a world of helping hands, and giving hearts. The Volunteer
and Service Learning Center promotes and encourages students
to help out in the Boston area and even abroad. Through
colleges within the university or through ministry organizations,
students are able to go to other states or countries to volunteer.

One of the largest volunteer organizations on campus is
Appalachia, which participates in trips during breaks to work with
the poverty stricken of the United States. Other organizations
such as 4Boston frequently volunteer at locations throughout the
Boston area for about four hours a week for an entire academic
year. Both organizations try to commit to the ideal of committing
to "a faith that does justice." Smaller groups such as Kids 2
Cents volunteer weekly at Sandra's Lodge, a homeless center, in
Waltham, Massachusetts, to promote creative art activities and
writing among children. The children's' writings are eventually
selected and compiled for a special edition of the Spare Change
Newsletter. The newsletter frequently addresses issues such as
homelessness and poverty, taking submissions and contributions
from writers or those that were or are homeless themselves.

Volunteering at Boston College has become ingrained in
most students. By promoting the goodness of others we promote
the goodness and justice in ourselves. Through helping out the
Boston Community and parts of the world, the students of this
university attempt to look for a healthier, more just tomorrow.

who is willing to sit in a dark
room and watch it, for cnter-
i.iinment, education or any-
ihing in between. Theater can
invoke tears, laughter, ideas,

The development of the Theater Department, in itself,
is an evolution of acting. Initially, the Dramatics So-
ciety, formed in 1865, began with two shows per year.
Classes focusing on Theater subjects began under the Speech
and Communications Theater Major. The department was
formed in the 1980's; but the growth continued until 1993
where it progressed into an independent academic depart-
ment. Currently, six shows are produced annually by the
department, and another four to eight shows are produced
by the Dramatics Society and the Contemporary Theater.
One of the main productions, a show called Dream-
ing Shakespeare, shown before Thanksgiving, is an experi-
mental piece taken from speeches and scenes from the work
of Shakespeare put together as an original script. There is an
intense focus on dreams and nightmares. However, the theater
department also focuses on subjects of history and humanity.
Necessary Targets, a show about the heart breaking topic of the
plight of the homeless refugees of Bosnia, collaborated with
members of the College of Arts and Science and the Boston
College Law School to enhance authenticity and artistry of the
production. Spring productions include the musical Candide,
a satiric production, directed by the department director. Dr.
Hecht, along with other shows such as Book of Days, Baby
With the Bathwater, Kelly and Du, and The Shadow Box.
According to Crystal Gomes '05, "Theater is the
synthesis of all art forms. It includes speech, dance, visual art,
music and the written word. Consequently, it is the most pow-
erful form of art, in my opinion. It can reach anyone who is
willing to sit in a dark room and watch it, for entertainment,
education or anything in between." The Theater Depart-
ment has become a foundation tor involvement and growth
for students emphasizing the audiences' ability to identify,
think and feel with the people and the situation on the stage.
-Nhu Huynh

"Theatre to me is a constant
reminder of the significance
of human relationships to life
and art."
Stephanie Marquis, '05

"The Theater Department is
such a close knit community
and such a talented one as well.
It has made beginning college
so much nicer."

Every year, Boston College hosts a variety of events
that add culture to campus life. Choruses, bands,
speakers, and even collections of art brought to
campus give students and faculty a wide array of cultural
opportunities in which to take part. In correlation
with the presidential electioii in November, BC held a
significant number of events on campus this year that
dealt with political issues. Former presidential candidate
Howard Dean came to support Senator Kerry in
September, attracting a large crowd of interested students
to gather at O'Neill Plaza. In addition to this Democratic
event, the College Republicans hosted a Republican Gala,
bringing in many speakers in support of President Bush.
In addition to political events, BC sponsored
an assortment of events in other fields. The McMuUen
Museum of Art held an exhibit on Fernand Khnopff, a
key figure in the European Symbolist movement. The
exhibit included many of Khnopff 's most important works
from the Royal Art Museums in Brussels and private
collections in Belgium, Switzerland, France, and the
U.S. The Church in the 21st Century sponsored several
lectures in regards to faith, including a presentation
entitled "Adventure of Faith Series: What Dare We Hope
For? The Resurrection of the Body and Life Everlasting,"
presented by the popular Father Himes. Every once in
a while, events such as "BC bOp! Lower Live!" come to
students, bringing culture to their everyday lives. With
such frequent events like these, cultural experiences on
campus are easy to come by for Boston College students.

Every year, the AHANA Leadership Council hosts a
spring ball to celebrate the diversity of students around
campus. The ALC Ball gives members of the BC
community an opportunity to fully appreciate the diversity
within their school, bringing students of different racial and
cultural backgrounds together in a formal setting. Those
who are lucky enough to get tickets to this popular event
are guaranteed to enjoy a night of food, dancing, and fun.
Held at the upscale Copley Hotel Plaza, the ALC
Ball gives students an opportunity to dress up and enjoy
fine dining, a welcome alternative to the barbequed
chicken and cold subs available on campus. As senior
Stephanie Salgado stated, "The ALC Ball is one of the
only times of year you can dress up, feel classy, and enjoy
good food and music." Students enjoy a variety of music
throughout the night, including a lively mix of reggae,
Latin, and hip-hop hits. The good food, music, and tunes
leave the crowd satisfied and in high spirits. Overall, the
uniqueness of the ALC Ball is successful in creating a
vibrant atmosphere for BC students to dance the night away.

The Foundations of

DIVERSITY

Looking back several decades at
Boston College's student body, a very
homogenous group of all male, mostly
Catholic students would have been found.
However, the times have changed and so
have the students. Currently, we find a much
more diverse student body and a university
that tries to accommodate its students
through programs, classes, and organizations.
The term AHANA was coined in 1979 by
two students, Alfred Feliciano and Valerie
Lewis. These students objected to the name
"Office of Minority Programs," then used by
Boston College, citing the definition of the
word minority as "less than." They proposed,
instead, to use the term "AHANA" which
they felt embraced the cultural differences
present in our society and the student body.
AHANA is an acronym used to describe
individuals of African-American, Hispanic,
Asian and Native American descent.
The University tries its best to
provide a wide variety of services that nurture
students of AHANA descent through
academic, social, cultural, and spiritual
development which is also the mission of the
Office of the AHANA Student Programs
and the AHANA Leadership Council.
Entering students at Boston College find
many clubs or activities to join to celebrate
the rich complexity and variance among
cultures and histories. Every school year
begins with the ALC Boat Cruise followed by
other events such as the ALC retreat, Asian
Pacific Islander Community Awareness
Retreat, Black Family Weekend, Caribbean
Culture Club Service trip, Hispanic Alumni
Weekend, OLAA Volunteer Day, and much
more. The activities are sponsored by a
number of clubs such as the Asian Caucus,

Boston College NAACP Black Student
Forum, Organization of Latin American
Affairs, and many many more, all of which
try to facilitate a sense of campus unity
and awareness on campus. The clubs and
organizations try to facilitate both a sense
of spirituality and sense of self along with
preparing not only AHANA students but
all students to accommodate to the diverse
work field and world. These organizations
continue to create new events, invent ideas
and plan activities to celebrate what would
not have been found decades ago at Boston
College. The clubs and organizations address
many of the problems and are a source of
advising for younger .or entering students.
A person could not look at Boston
College without realizing the changing and
evolving student body that challenges not
only the problems of the University but of
the nation. The students of Boston College
are integrated into a rich environment of
diversity where students are thus able to
learn from one another's experiences and
lives. Through the University, relations
are gained concerning what is like to be
an AHANA student in the 21" century.
Accordingly, the student body as a whole
is more understanding and better prepared
to face the problems among race, culture,
and social differences because of the active
organizations and programs run by the ALC
and Office of AHANA Student Programs.

The Boston College community is made up
ot thousands of individuals, each with his
or her own unique sense of style and taste.
But of course, we are all subject to the whims of the
fashion world, and many of us pick up on, or lead,
the latest trends and fads - whether it be dressing
up for an evening out on the town, or playing it
down when we head off to class or lounge around
in the dorms. So what were the trends of the 2004-
2005 school year? Both the men and women of
Boston College found a way to sport Polo - short-
sleeves, long-sleeves, sweaters, hats, bags... The
familiar logo could be seen all over campus (collars
turned up, of course). Ugg boots and North Face
gear retained their popularity for another year,
and many students owned a pair (or two) of Nike's
fashionable Shox running sneakers. Girls fell in
love with big and bright jewelry reminiscent of
the 1980's, and faux pearls graced the necklines
of many a BC lady. But of course, BC'ers never
hesitated to play it down - sweatpants, pajamas,
and athletic-wear are always acceptable "outfits" for
weekends and school days alike. And as you take a
walk around campus you notice, as always, students
showing their colors through clothing decorated
with the school name we are all so proud to display.

WINTER

Spring Break is a college tradition. From as early as
September, students are planning their getaways.
It is easy to get caught up in the enthusiasm.
All through January and February, that week
in March is looming ahead like a trophy at the end
of a hard race. Everyone seems to be eagerly awaiting
that week where homework, exams, and papers are
nonexistent. School work falls to the wayside and
students get to be just kids who want to have fun.
For that one wonderful week, students are transported
from a usually soggy and depressing Massachusetts
winter to wanner and more entertaining climates.
Whether you go someplace warm like the
Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, or Mexico or
someplace further like London, Paris, or Amsterdam,
Spring Break is a college ritual. Even if you end up in the
back of your parents' car heading home, you still get the
time off to relax — something you won't be guaranteed
after graduation when you join the working world.
Something else that we should treasure while
we're still here at BC is Christmas break. Now at four
glorious weeks, it is totally unlike the pre-coUegiate
Christmas. Not only do we get more time off, but we
have few commitments and little work to be completed.
Between semesters there are honestly not too many
responsibilities placed on the shoulders of the BC
student. Some choose to work, others choose to travel
and others choose to lounge, but no mat
decision, it is always eagerly anticipated bVstu^^#ts

Hoi I ["day - a day of freedom from labor; day set aside for
leisure or recreation; vacation. As if we need reminding of
the definition of this term! And we certainly take advantage
of the days "set aside for leisure" during our days here at BC. The first
holiday we encounter during our first days back at school is Labor
Day, which usually just grants us more time to unpack, decorate our
rooms, and put off classes for another few precious hours. A month
or so down the line, BC'ers enjoy time off for Columbus weekend,
which for many involves a trip home to see the parents, or maybe
just an extra day added on to the usual weekend festivities! One
of our highly celebrated holidays at Boston College is Halloween,
where students get to show off their creativity and outdo each
other with inventive and original (or not so original) costumes. At
BC, Halloween usually gets stretched out to last a full weekend, so
students have several nights to hit up on-campus costume parties
and special events at Boston bars and clubs. For Thanksgiving,
most BC students head home to spend some quality time with their
families... and to finally get in a good meal! This year, many students
came back to school early to attend the BC versus Syracuse football
game held at Alumni Stadium on the Saturday of Thanksgiving
weekend. The rest enjoyed a relaxing weekend at home, catching
up with family and old friends. And then finally, after a semester
of hard work and a couple weeks of cramming for exams, Boston
College students are off to Winter Break! Of course here and there,
we like to throw in a few extras... 2 1st Birthdays, Toxic Tuesdays,
Notre Dame weekends... a few unofficial holidays of our own.

WEATHER

Oh, the joys of Boston weather! One minute you're
enjoying a sunny walk through O'Neill Plaza, the
next, you're desperately trying to hold onto your
umbrella in the torrential downpour through the dustbowl.
Although the morning forecast may call tor full winter gear,
by midday you'll be wishing you hadn't put away your flip flops
or other summer favorites. Boston weather is as unpredictable
as it gets, providing for a different kind of excitement at BC.

BC students have learned to live with Boston's
unpredictable weather, ready to face whatever it has in store
for them. Sophomore Glenn Moody advises to "prepare
for the worst, so that way you can be ready for anything."
Although students from out of town, particularly from warm
locations, often have trouble adjusting to the dreadful winters
and extreme climate changes, the weather is something
they have come to love. Junior Jimmy Kwak even recalls
students from out of town taking pictures of their first snowfall
and being excited about making their first snow angels.

Sometimes, the irregularity of Boston weather is what
it takes to make your day more exciting. There's nothing like
waking up to five feet of snow on the ground, or seeing lower
campus get flooded in rain to liven up your day. Although
these weather extremes can make it hard to move around
campus, and no, school probably won't get cancelled; they are
part of what makes Boston an exciting place to go to school!

Arguably one of the best things about going to Boston Col-
lege is not getting to ride the Comm. Ave. bus, but being
able to take it to the T and then take that into Boston.
Full of museums, history, sports teams, restaurants, bars, and clubs,
Boston is the perfect place to be while you're in college. While
so mariy of us at BC come from the surrounding areas and are
familiar with the pleasures of this great city, many of us also come
from cross-country or other countries and are just beginning to
get a taste of the flavor Beantown. Fiiiding something creative
and cultural in Boston is easy. The cultural scene of Boston is
plentiful and caters to students. The Boston Museum of Fine Art
admits students free on certain days, and finding cheap symphony
and play tickets is easy too. The history of Boston is also natu-
rally the history of our country, and we have so much access to
historic sites and information that other people travel from miles
around just to come see. In the mood for fresh seafood? How
about legitimate Italian? Head on down to the Wharf to Legal
Seafood where the prices might be steeper, but the raw oysters and
fresh catches can't be beat. Or pass the Big Dig (which is finally
over, sort of, kind of, not really) on your way to the North End,
where you will find a plethora of authentic Italian restaurants,
waiting for you to pick your personal favorite. Don't forget to
stop by Mike's Pastry shop on the way home either, for some of the
best pastries around. And of course, what better place to be than
Boston when the Red Sox ended the curse by winning the World
Series for the first time in 86 years? No doubt about it, whether
you're fan of opera, oysters, or Ortiz, Boston is the place to be.

The Foundations of

SPIRITUALITY

As we all know Boston Col-
lege is a Jesuit institution,
founded on the principles of
St. Ignatius. There are over 50 Jesuits
connected with the college, who either
teach, work in administrative positions,
are visiting scholars, or are graduate
students themselves. A dedication to
education, learning, questioning and
growing are the foundational frame-
works of BC thanks to its founders and
current members of the Jesuit Com-
munity that keep it up. As the Jesuit
Institute states, "The Catholic Jesuit
university is founded upon the convic-
tion that the religious and the academic
are intrinsically related." Starting as a
small educational facility to accommo-
date the growing number of Catholics
in Boston, BC has expanded to all areas
of study for students of all faith back-
grounds. The strong Catholic emphasis
is hard to miss, however. The names of
buildings, the statues in Gasson, as well
as St. Mary's Hall on the main campus
and the Barat House on the Newton
campus all attest to the influence and
presence of the Catholic Church. So
what does this mean for us as students
at BC? As the core curriculum will
attest, spirituality is an important part
of the academic and personal growth of
BC students. Each student is required
to take 2 semesters of a theology course,
along with other standard educational
requirements. In many ways, this is one

of the attractive things about BC for
prospective students. "I was impressed
by the integration of intellectual and
spiritual focus in the curriculum when
applying to BC," Chrissy Wain, '05 said.
Catholic students also find it very easy to
attend masses around campus at differ-
ent times during the week, which allows
them to become familiar with the Jesuit
Community outside of a classroom.
Many service and religious groups, such
as Appalachia Volunteers and Intervar-
sity Christian Fellowship, also find a
basis in the Christian and Jesuit ideals
of faith and spirituality. However, many
students are uncomfortable in such spe-
cifically Catholic surroundings. Students
of differing faith backgrounds sometimes
find it hard to avoid the Catholic influ-
ence in classes as well as around campus.
However, the foundations of spirituality
at BC enable students of today's modem
culture to discover, enhance, and utilize
their own spirituality in a world that is
craving spiritual guidance of its own.
Even though as a higher educational
institution of the 21st century, BC has
changed drastically from its original
structure, and the emphasis on faith and
spiritual growth intrinsic to the Jesuit
foundations is something each student
can appreciate and from which we can
all learn.

It-' "■

f ^^^^^^ he goal of a Jesuit education is to develop "men and
women for others." Boston College certainly achieves
this objective with each and every class that comes to
the Heights. For evidence, one need not look any further than the more
than two hutidred registered cluhs and organizations on campus. Each
group devotes countless hours to their mission of enhancing student life
at BC through a variety of opportunities. The largest category is hy far
that of volunteer organizations and service trips, an excellent reflection
of our Jesuit values. There is no community service requirement imple-
mented by the university and yet hy the completion of one's undergradu-
ate career, nearly 70% of that student's class has done one form of service
through the school. Whether it is going with 500 other BC students to
the Appalachia region to build houses for the underprivileged, working at
a soup kitchen right at home in Boston, or traveling as tar across the globe
on in international service trip, there are no limits to what the determi-
nation of each group can achieve. Government, intercultural, leadership,
performance, political, media and religious organizations are all highly
visible on campus. Their hard work brings iii countless speakers, dances,
concerts, and activities to attend away from the stress of school work.
These organizations provide students with the opportunity to develop
their talents and interests as well as build friendships with students,
faculty and the greater Boston community. MaWsa Fusco ani. M^ra C}\a\

The Boston College Dance Ensemble consists of 36 students joined together by a pas-
sion for dance. Most have received intense dance training for years and welcome the
opportunity to continue developing their love for their art here at BC. Members of
this completely student-run organization train together all year, taking ballet and jazz classes
taught by renowned professional dancers and teachers in the Boston area. They spend count-
less hours choreographing and rehearsing for performances at the end of each semester. These
performances consist of about twenty dances, ranging in style from ballet, hip-hop, jazz, tap, and
musical theater. Each is choreographed, costumed, staged, and danced by Ensemble members.
All proceeds from the performances, which total upwards of $15, 000 over the course of one
year, directly benefit the Boston College Campus School. Specifically, performance sales help
to enhance the music therapy resources and programming at the Campus School. In addition to
the show, the Ensemble also performs in various events both on and off campus, such as Artists

SWING KIDS

In the 1920s, Harlem's Savoy Ballroom gave birth to a new style ot dance: The
Lindy Hop and Swing Dancing. Its wild and sexual movements challenged
authority, and its free spirit defied racial boundaries. Sadly, the times would
move past swing dancing. However, the 90's embraced it with a newfound appre-
ciation, and sparked a movement that will keep us swinging well throughout this
century and into the next. BC Swing Kids was started five years ago by a group ot
then-sophomores in a successful effort to reignite the interest of swing dancing in
the Boston College community. The organization offers weekly lessons to all levels
of experience, and organizes frequent events with other colleges. Above all, Swing
Kids aim to have fun, interact with new people, and keep the spirit ot swing alive.

The Committee for Creative Enactments (CCE) is a comedic theater troupe dat-
ing hack to the mid SO's that layers improvised scenes on top of a scripted plot in
a murder-mystery format. Made up entirely of BC students, there is no conven-
tional stage, and the performance is not to be passively watched. Actors move throughout
the audience, and converse with audience members directly. Audience members take on
the pretense of the setting of the show and O'Connell House (an old mansion and BC
landmark) is transformed into a medieval castle, or the estate of William Shakespeare,
or a Victorian era hotel, or e\'en (as a real stretch) a spooky old mansion. Audience
members are guests of the event, and there may be multiple scenes occurring simultane-
ously in several rooms in O'Connell House. Audience members may follow their favorite
characters into a scene or engage them in conversation, or even interrogate a suspect
themselves. All actors remain in character throughout the night, making for an unfor-
gettable evening that can't be compared to any other form of entertainment out there.

program was easily the largest in the history of the organization, and helps to represent its
incredible growth. The club aimed to involve as many people in the Presidential Election as
possible, registering close to two hundred students and helping nearly six hundred students
obtain absentee ballots. The College Democrats attempt to voice the progressive message
in hopes of carrying out an expansion of the Democratic Party and its beliefs and ideals.

fense and the plaintiff/prosecution arguments, questions, and witnesses based on the fact pat-
tern the program receives from the American Mock Trial Association. The BC Mock Trial
teams compete at various intercollegiate competitions throughout the year, including the
American Mock Trial Association's Regional Competition held at other universities int he
Northeast. All teams have a chance at competing in the National Tournaments held in St.
Paul, Minnesota and Des Moines, Iowa. For the past seven years, the Mock Trial Program has

t 1 'he Boston College Investment Club was founded in 1983 by William Doty, a
1 Junior Economics major, as one of the first undergraduate investment clubs in
JL the country. He saw the value in a student-run organization that managed its
own real life portfolio of equities and could provide the skill sets Wall Street was look-
ing for. Doty envisioned an organization where students would see firsthand what goes
into making financial decisions and where novice investors could gain experience. The
mission of the club is to provide a stimulating business environment in which members
discuss the financial markets and manage a portfolio of over twenty securities and a
quarter million dollars of Boston College's endowment. The Investment Club also
aims to analyze investment opportunities and research stocks within different sectors

of the market, and to have its members assume a leadership role in pitching stocks.

The Student Admissions Program (SAP) is the largest
volunteer organization on campus at Boston Col-
lege. In any given year there are between 700 and
900 volunteer members in the program. Working directly
with the Office of Undergraduate Admission, SAP offers
current Boston College students the chance to assist in the
recruitment of prospective students. From serving as tour
guides (who lead families around campus and answer their
questions) and panelists to Day Visit hosts and greeters,

first ambassadors for visitors to Boston College. The first
moment a prospective student enters the admissions office, he
or she is greeted by not only a wealth of on hand admissions
officers but current students as well who are only willing to
help our with any questions or concerns. Within the SAP,
there are nine programs. The SAP Coordinators Council is
made up of 11 students who each run a program in SAP. The
Student Admissions Program culminates each year with the
FUN that IS April - up to 1000 visitors through the office
each and every day. Volunteers enjoy what they do as they
get to meet many different people from all over the world.

Every year, it is through the help of the SAP
volunteers that accepted high school seniors
are able to visit the campus and meet fellow
acceptees, while also having the chance to
talk with current students.

White Male) world was "Nature abhors a vacuum." Now it might aptly be said "Nature
abhors a naked singularity." (Stephen Hawking said it, and he had a guest spot on Star
Trek The Next Generation, so, in fact, it might be more than aptly said.) Therefore, it
is the hope of Naked Singularity to invoke some of that abhorrence, and to push the
bounds of acceptance understanding and commensurahility forward a few light years.

Crossroads was founded in the Spring of 2000 by a group of seniors dedicated
to bring Christ's message more fully to the Boston College campus. It is a
Catholic newspaper born in love, seeking the Truth. The paper is published
on alternating Mondays throughout the academic semester. Crossroads engages in
dialogue with the University community, calling all to active participation in this
search for Truth. The fortnightly, produced by members of the Boston College com-
munity, attends to the highest journalistic standards in both its news and editorial
content. Crossroads offers Christian witness and embraces the values to which BC
is committed, foremost among them tidelity to Christ, His Church, and her servant
the Magisterium; an ongoing reflection on the Western cultural and intellectual
tradition; communion with other traditions and values; and fuller realization of
the vision of St. Ignatius Loyola in the life of the University. In its pursuit of a
vibrant exchange of ideas. Crossroads encourages response from the student body.

WZBC is Boston College's student-run radio station. Originally founded as
WVBC, the voice of Boston College, the radio station began in 1960 as a
carrier-current AM station, broadcasting solely to the University community
through the electrical wiring of on-campus buildings and dormitories. After operating
in this capacity for 13 years, BC Radio took a big step by applying for a license to open
and operate WZBC - FM, a nine watt, educationally-oriented station at the frequency
90.3. With the advent of WZBC - FM, the radio station expanded its listenership to
begin serving the outside community. Through locally based programs, WZBC proposed
to link area residents with the University. A power increase was given to WZBC in
1974, bringing the station up to its current output of 1 000 watts and allowing once again
for an expansion in listenership. Since the initial format change, WZBC has grown
to become one of the most influential and respected college stations in the country.

WVBC

WVBC is the on-campus sister station of WZBC - Newton 90.3 FM, Boston
College radio, and broadcasts through BC Cable Channel 47. It encour-
ages all students to get involved, even those with no previous radio experi-
ence. First and foremost, a WVBC DJ must have a love for music; everything else is
secondary. To be a WVBC DJ you need no prior broadcast experience, and the music
you play need not be a certain genre. WVBC is for the students, by the students!

UNICEF

The UNICEF chapter of Boston College seeks to continue the tradition
upheld by the national organization in its quest to raise support for the
programs implemented and proposed by the United Nations Children's
Fund, among others. It also increases public awareness of the challenges facing the
world's children. The chapter at BC raises money to add to that raised by at least
hundreds of other schools and universities around the country as well as volun-
teering in campaigns to change policies that will greatly benefit the less fortunate.

Conceived in 1997, the AHANA Leadership Academy (ALA) has provided
training, resources, and advice to emerging AHANA freshman leaders. The
need to promote high academic standards as well as an active social and
political conscience has charged ALA with the task of developing a proving ground
for freshman students. During the school year, ALA holds dorm talks, meetings,
and group dinners, creating a forum for discussions of AHANA issues and methods
by which to address them. ALA members are official members of the AHANA
Leadership Council and are placed in various departments. Along with the execu-
tive staff, department directors, and ALC members, ALA members are surrounded
with mentors and given opportunities to expand on their current and newfound
leadership skills. ALA is a beginning, not an end, to their leadership capacities.

The Slavic Club is a joint effort by native Slavs, students, and faculty

Special Olympics Boston College (SOBC) was founded by members of the class
ot 2005 in their sophomore year at Boston College. SOBC is both a local pro-
gram for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the greater Boston area
and a fundraising organization at BC. Over 200 BC students have contributed to the
development of SOBC over the past two years by volunteering as unified partners
in soccer and volleyball or plunging into the Atlantic in the middle of the winter.
SOBC holds practice once a week and competes in two competitions per season. More
than 20 athletes participate in the program, competing with BC students in the Fall
Soccer Tournament and the Summer Games. One of our greatest memories was on
February 14th, 2004 at the 6th Annual Passion Plunge. In 2003, four members raised
$1,000 to benefit the athletes of SOBC, and only one year later, members raised over
ten times that amount when forty students decided to take the plunge and raised
over $10,000 to plunge into the Atlantic Ocean at Nantasket Beach in Hull, MA.

A major component of College Bound is the Mentor Program, designed to provide
undergraduate students from Brighton and West Roxbury High Schools with additional
support and resources as they work toward achieving their goal of furthering their
education beyond high school. During the two to three hours each month, mentors
get to know a student through such activities as visiting their high school, eating lunch
with the mentees when on the campus of Boston College, and engaging in a special
activity, on or off campus, of interest to both the student and the mentor. This might
include going to the movies, an art museum, concert, athletic event, shopping, having
pizza, visiting the Boston College campus, or touring other local college campuses. As
such, College Bound mentors share a small part of their life, experiences, expertise,
and time with College Bound students in what often amounts to lasting friendships.

MACIN.XOSH

The purpose of the Boston College Macintosh Users Group (BCMUG) is
to provide a community that is informative, social, and supportive for those

Chinese consider mahjong the essence of the Chinese culture. Through this
stress-releasing and fun entertainment, the mission of the Mahjong Club includes train-
ing students to think strategically and analytically based on the nature and concept of the
game in combination with its variations. Mahjong acts as a medium for networking, cul-
tural and knowledge exchanges. The club serves to enrich Boston College's multicultural
atmosphere through regular Mahjong gatherings. It once was a gambling game, but it has
now evolved into a family game, which even young children play it in Oriental families.

48 HOURS

n order for new students to reevaluate their priorities and refocus on their lives at
Boston College, the 48 HOURS program removes students from the distractions
, and psychological noise of campus. Once away from the routine stimuli of campus,
students begin a 48'hour weekend experience that is both personal and peer-oriented,
with a goal ot constructing a valuable and rewarding college experience. This year
specifically, the focus was centered around the Jesuit ideals which call us to be attentive,
reflective, and loving. Senior leaders, Sophomore Point Guards, and Freshmen alike
embraced these concepts on trips in the snow of Waterville Valley, NH, the sands of
Hyannis, at the rock in Plymouth, as well as on the frozen tundra of Ogunquit, ME.
The onus of the trips ultimately falls on the ability to take the lessons of 48 HOURS
learned away from campus and translate them into the lexicon and daily routine of
life back at BC. Through the leadership and sharing of the class of 2005, this was
made not only possible, but wonderfully evident in action and word.

The Halftime retreat is designed mainly for Sophomores but is open to Fresh-
men and Juniors who would also like a chance to reflect on their Boston College
careers. It is an introspective free retreat that includes guided workshops to help
students reflect on their experiences, interests, and the directions they point
to. For three days and two nights, students are brought to either the mountain-
ous Snowy Owl Inn in New Hampshire or the Cortina Inn in Vermont where
they can get away from the hectic and distracting ambiance of the city and college
life. In addition to conversations with peers about talents, decisions, arid the fu-
ture, the students are afforded a chance to build connections with faculty, deeper
relationship with other students, and a clearer relationship with themselves.

at BC. The retreat builds upon the questions asked on Halftime with an emphasis
on implementing and acting upon their reflections and discernment questions right
NOW. 3Q features a faculty Emcee and a panel of B.C. alumni and is facilitated
by previous Halftime leaders. By sponsoring overnight retreats, on-campus speak-
ers, and other social events. Third Quarter helps students continue to build on the
three key questions and the three key "he's" explored during the Halftime weekend.

TIJUANA,

Students travel to Tijuana, Mexico where they work with Amor Ministries. The
Amor mission trip is a short-term mission trip based on serving the local church
in Mexico, and creating cross-cultural understanding through direct exposure
to the Mexican culture. The goal of the Amor program is to understand the condi-
tions of poverty through immersion, in addition to building a house in a developing
nation. Combined with this project is a three day retreat over the course of the Easter
Tridium. The retreat uses the act of service and the Passion of Christ to focus on a
personal and spiritual experience of Christ's crucifixion on the cross, as seen through
the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Mexico.

Students travel to the border that runs between Tucsan, Arizona and Nogales,
Mexico. Living together in both the United States and Mexico - including in
the homes of Mexican families - students are exposed to a wide range of per-
spectives related to life along the United States and Mexico border. BorderLinks, the
non-profit organization that coordinates the immersion experience, organizes activi-
ties such as tours of maquiladoras and discussions with factory managers, meetings
with workers and their families in their communities, and discussions with activists
who are committed to bringing about social change.

URBAN

During both the semester and spring breaks, 25 students (a different group
each week) and a Boston College campus minister will live in Jamaica Plain,
a neighborhood of Boston. Each day, they will work on a variety of projects
which may include service in a foodbank, visitation with guests in one of Bostons
shelters, and outreach to local elderly. During evening seminars, the group studies a
variety of urban issues such as racism, homelessness, and theological perspectives on
urban life. To ground our community in the love and justice of God, the group ends
each day in a communal multi-faith prayer service.

NICAE^AGUA

For the past nine years, students have traveled to Nicaragua, an impoverished
country in Central America, to spend time in an economically impoverished
campesino community and experience firsthand the lives of people who struggle
each day to feed their families, obtain clean drinking water and find a way to support
themselves both individually and in community. Through meetings with educators,
health care workers, politicians, and other community leaders, students spend time
in both the capital city and in rural areas learning about the concerns of the people
from various vantage points.

— Volunteers --Jamaica ~

Students immerse themselves in the urban reality of Kingston, Jamaica, by serv-
ing at several different outreach ministries, including an orphanage, a home
for the elderly, and a home for children who are severely disabled. Additionally,
students visit The Culture Yard, a museum dedicated to the artist who emerged from
Trenchtown, Jamaica, and became a voice of liberation for Jamaicans living in oppres-
sive situations.

Each Winter break a group of students travel to the indigenous communities of
Chenalho in Chiapas, the poorest and southernmost state in Mexico. The indig-
enous residents of Chenalho live in abject poverty, almost entirely outside of the
money economy. There is no running water and no electricity. Peasants live in
one-room, wooden huts, empty inside except for small wood-burning stoves. Most
speak only Tzotzil, their native language that descends from ancient Mayan. Stu-
dents stay in a small Catholic parish on the outskirts of Chenalho, a short distance
from the village where they visit and tutor at village schools and teach villagers
about basic sanitation and hygiene for almost three weeks. Rather than perform
direct service, however, students will spend the majority of the week simply "ac-
companying" villagers in their daily lives: picking coffee and corn with farmers;
praying and worshiping with community members; and eating dinner with families.

Mextco

Towards the end of May and for two weeks, a trip to Cuernavaca, Mexico, is
sponsored by Campus Ministry. A campus minister, and other staff person or
graduate assistant and two student leaders accompany the team to Mexico. It is
a two week immersion program conducted at the Cuernavaca Center for IntercuUural
Dialogue on Development. The program provides direct experience with the poor people
of Mexico and Latin American refugees in their daily struggles for survival. In addi-
tion to the staff at the Cuernavaca Center for IntercuUural Dialogue on Development,
professors, social workers, medical personnel, and clergy participate in dialogue with
BC students. Visits to the squatter settlement in Cuernavaca, the indigenous peoples
in the mountain, Christian-based communities, and visits to historical sites round
out the learning and intercultural dialogue. Biblical reflection, prayer, and dialogue
fill each day with the dynamic of processing the experiences.

MOZAMBIQUE

Established in 2000, the Mozambique Service Program is an intense, unrivaled,
eight-week service and immersion experience. While in Mozambique, the par-
ticipants teach English in a local parish, live in community with one another,
have opportunities for group and individual reflection, and form lasting friendships
with Mozambicans. Sponsored since 2002 by the Center for Ignatian Spirituality, the
Mozambique Service Program supports participants in the embodiment of the Jesuit
mission of "men and women for others!'

BEU^E

Students travel to Seine Bight, on the Placencia Peninsula, in Belize, Central
America. Living in a community center and working with Belizean teachers,
students run a one - week winter camp for village children and teach in the
regular school system the following week. Additionally, students spend time in Belize
City engaging in community service projects and meeting with members of the local
community.

><^^^»^^^^ he BIG EAST has been a foundation of life at Boston
/ 1 College for many, many years. Last year, President

^i^JjBi^^ Leahy announced that we would be leaving our
sports "home" and moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference, a
highly competitive, predominately southern conference. As many
Eagles teams prepared for the move, they were determined to go out
as winners. The 2004 football squad were co-BlG EAST champs and
won their fifth consecutive bowl victory, the longest such streak in
the nation. Then week after week we watched our men's basketball
team remain undefeated until they recorded the best start for any
team in Big East history, reached number three in the AP Coach's
poll, the team's highest ranking in school history, and we threw
out the rules as we stormed the courts after Syracuse. Not to be
outdone, the women's team continuecl their impressive play and was
consistently in the top 20 m the country. Men's hockey, though not
effected by the move to the ACC, followed the lead of those that
dominated Hockey East with impressive wins over Denver, North
Dakota and others. And it wasn't just the big three sports that
brought glory to the Heights. The co-ed sailing team had its most
impressive season in recent memory; the men's and women's soccer
teams both made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. The
men and women who participate in all of our varsity and club sports
made their Superfans extremely proud. Marisa Fusco and Myra Chai

-he women's soccer team left the 2003 season with high
hopes after posting a 13-2-2 record in the regular season
and making it to the BIG EAST championships, where
they lost in oxertime on penalty kicks. Team co-captains Laina
Ceddia and Kate Taylor led the team to a regular season record
oi 13-5, continuing the success of the women's team in 2004-
The season began with a frustrating 1-0 loss to Boston Uiiiver-
sity. The team then picked up where they left off last season,
winning three straight, including two shutouts. After dropping
the next three games, BC went on a streak of seven wins in
a row. This restored confidence that had been suffering after
several close losses, including a 1-0 loss to Villanova, who
had beaten them in the BIG EAST championship in 200j.

i' over Georgetown in the BIG
EAST tournament, BC lost to Notre Dame 2-0 in the semi-
finals, an earlier exit than hoped for. However, after this
disappointment, the team focused their attention on the
NCAA tournament after they won a bid, finishing the season
ranked number 19. The Eagles look to continue this success
and look fonvard to future bids in the NCAA tournament.
The BC women's soccer team earned many honors during
the 2004 season. Both Tara Luciani and Kia McNeill were
named Rookie ot the Week during the 2004 season. Jentiy
Maurer was named Detensi\e Player of the Week, as well as
a member of the Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America
Women's Soccer District 1 Team, along with Heather
Ferron. McNeill was also named Co-Rookie of the Year and
All-BIG EAST First Teani. Maurer, Ceddia, and Lindsey
McArdle were named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team.

After posting a 6-7-4 record last
season, the men's soccer team
was determined to improve.
Senior co-captains Pat Haggerty, Bill
Arnault, and Guy Melamed have led
the young team as they have improved
throughout the season. Sophomore
goalkeeper Issey Maholo and 1 1 freshmen
have helped the Eagles gain recognition
throughout the season. They began
the year with a 3-1 win over Brown, a
promising sign for the rest of the season.
After getting ahead 1-0 on a goal from
freshman Charlie Davies, Brown tied the
score, hut the Eagles retook the lead and
sealed the victory with two goals in the
last 13 minutes of the game. The Eagles
went on to win their first four games of
the season and earned a national ranking.
Charlie Davies was named Big East rookie
of the week and Issey Maholo was named
conference goalkeeper of the week after
the first week of action. The team finished
the regular season with a 12-3-2 record,
with only one loss and no ties occurring at
home. Issey Maholo recorded 9 shutouts
and senior co-captain Pat Haggerty was
named to the College Soccer News Team
of the Week twice during the season. The
young team looks forward to continuing

MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

Making Strides to Victory

Beginning their season at the UNH
Wildcat Invitational Sept. 11, the
men's cross country team got off to
a slower start than they were hoping for.
Finishing seventh in that first meet, the
Eagles began to gain momentum as the
season progressed. A fifth place finish at
the lona College Meet of Champions in
New York, thanks largely in part to Captain
Drew Bouchard's placing 17''\ prepared the
team for their first meet at home. The New
England Championships, run in Boston, was
a great success for the team, led once again by
Bouchard who finished seventh. The team
as a whole also did well in their first home
meet with all five of the BC runners placing
in the top 65 of a field of 3 1 5. Bouchard
and his co-captain Trevor Rozier-Byrd,
both seniors, led the team to a successful
year. Their strong finishes paired with head
coach Randy Thomas' experience honed
over seven seasons as program director, laid
an excellent foundation for the men's cross
country- season. After finishing tenth at the
national championships at Penn State, the
team looked to finish out the season strongly.
They then proceeded to finish eighth overall
in the BIG EAST championships, led by
freshman Adam Moitoso, who finished 31st
overall, and three others finished in the top
5Q. With twelve freshmen on the team,
the men's cross-country' team has a positive
outlook as they look to continue this success
in future seasons.

WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

On Pace for Bright Future —

The women's cross country team started
their season strong this fall. They
placed sixth at the University of New
Hampshire Wildcat Invitational and saw a
promising start from their incoming class, as
freshman Lynn Kubeja was the Eagle's top
runner in that meet. The team then had a
strong showing at the lona College Meet of
Champions in New York, where they placed
third. Maria Cicero, a sophomore, finished
eighth and Laura Burdick and Jess Flinn
also posted good times to secure BC a high
finish. A second place finish at the Murray
Keeting Invitational and Cicero's third place
finish showed the team's strength. BC had
five finishers-more than any other school-
in the top 50. Head Coach Randy Thomas,
who brings his skills to both the men and
women's programs, capped off his 13 th year
at Boston College with this season. For the
first season, assistant coach John Mortimer
and volunteer Amy Mortimer added to the
beaching staff. Finally, the girls were led in
part by assistant coach Erin O'Reilly. The
women's team finished fourth overall at the
National Invitational held at Penn State.
They then finished sixth overall at the BIG
EAST championships. Senior Maria Cicero
finished ninth overall to lead the team. Five
other BC runners finished in the top 50 as
well. The team saw great success throughout
the season and looked forward to seeing how
well the potential ot its new additions would
contribute to the overall placing of the team.

FIELD HOCKEY

Sticking it to the Opposition

^ he women's field hockey team began the 2004

^^ I season with high hopes after posting a 15-7 mark

JL. during the 2003 season, as well as being the BIG

LA.ST champions. Captains Kerri Doherty, Bronwen Kelly,

and Lauren Schultz led the team with 10 returning starters

and only three starters lost to graduation. Preseason polls

'r reported that the team was a likely contender to be BIG
EAST champion again.
After a disappointing start in a heartbreaking loss ot the first

i game of the season to Maryland spurred to team to push
for success. After jumping out to a 1-0 lead in the first

, period, Maryland tied the Eagles, and eventually netted the

y winning goal in overtime. Following the 3-2 loss, the Eagles
concentrated on their next opponent, UMass, and recorded
their first victory of the season, a 3-1 win. This win restored
confidence in the team as they looked forward to the rest of
the season. Only three regular season losses occurred after
the initial one to Maryland, and the team was propelled into
the BIG EAST tournament.
The team finished the regular season ranked number 1 1 in

i^the nation with a record of 16-4. After defeating Syracuse
in the BIG EAST tournament semifinals, the defending
champions lost to top ranked Connecticut, the team they
had beaten in 2003 to win the tournament, in the BIG
EAST Championships. Kerri Doherty, Bronwen Kelly,
Sabrina Lazzari, and Kristen Madden were all named to
the BIG EAST field hockey first team, and Jillian Savoy
and Sara York were both named to the second team. The
team also won a hid to the NCAA tournament for the
second year in a row. The Eagles, though no longer the BIG
EAST champions, had a successful season, and look to have

r continued success in field hockey.

Successful Strokes

Although considered td'he'a'wirifer
men's swimming and diving season began in
October and were active with meets up unti
February. Following the end of the regular season,
BIG EAST Championships, ECAC Championships,
and NCAA Championships extend the swimming
and diving season through March. Head coach Tom
Groden led the team to another successful season.
David Herman and Brandon Twichell, the 2004-
2005 captains also provided excellent leadership.
The team lost their home opener against Fordham
this year but went on to win numerous other meets.
They beat Rhode Island 178-113, when Tim Tully
won three individual events for the Eagles. The team
topped Providence College, winning 11 out of 16
events. The Eagles also beat Tufts with a 190-146
victory. In that meet, Thomas Martz was named the
meet's outstanding performer and diver Christopher
Wilson-Byrne won the won one meter and three
meter dives to earn the most outstanding performance
award. The men also performed well at Yale's
Nutmeg Invitational, where they won four events
and Tully was named outstanding performer. After a
disappointing meet against Massachusetts, their third
loss of the season, the Eagles struck back with wins
against Maine and Holy Cross, wining 184-136 and
178-81, respectively. At the Big East Championships,
the Eagles swam strong to an eighth place finish.
Thieir biggest success was with Tully, Twichell, David

Ruling the Pool

The Women's Swimming and Diving team got
off to a great start this year with a win over
Colgate on October 16th by a score of 155-
141. The team suffered a loss against New Hampshire,
but came back to beat Fordham 167.5-132.5 earning
their fourth win of the season. In that meet they
won the 200 medley relay, the 100 backstroke, 200
fly, and dominated the breaststroke as well. Divers
Jennifer Rhines and Maeve Brennan went one and
two, respectively, in both the one and three meter
dives. The team beat Rhode Island in 1 1 of 16 events
with impressive finishes by the swimmers. The diving
team did especially well, as they garnered the top
three places in both the one and three meter dives.
The Eagles came back from a disappointing loss to
Princeton to beat Central Connecticut State the same
weekend. Junior Elizabeth Byron had a very successful
day, winning two events in the Central Connecticut
meet and setting a pool record in the 100 fly. The
team won 7 events in the Nutmeg Invitational, which
does not keep team scores. They also had big wins
against the University of Massachusetts and Boston
University. In a season to be proud of for head coach
Tom Groden, diving coach Deanna Zechmann,
and assistant coach Michael Pohorylo, the Big East
Championships proved to be an excellent ending.
The team took eighth place, with Byron continuing
to dominate sprint freestyle events and sophomore
Carolyn Bowman delivering BC's top individual
performance, placing fifth in the 200 breaststroke.

Shooting stars

fter struggling to break into the top 2 5 las^eason^he
men's basketball team was determined to improve.
.Preseason polls predicted the Eagles to finish fifth
in the BIG EAST and junior Craig Smith was named to the
preseason AU-BIG EAST First Team. The men's basketball
team erased any doubt in their determination to win early
in the season. A 16-0 record to begin the season showed
that the Eagles were serious contenders. Led by captains
senior Nate Doomekamp, junior Louis Hinnant, and Smith,
not only did they break the top 25, the Eagles improved to
eighth and made themselves one of only three undefeated
teams.The Eagles played cleanly and were able to win many
close games. An overtime victory over Holy Cross, a double
overtime victory over Yale, and last minute wins over Kent
State and Villanova helped maintain their impressive record.
Smith and Jared Dudley provided a spark on the offense. In
particular. Smith's last minute jumper over Kent State and
Dudley's three point play in the last five seconds to defeat
Villanova proved to be victorious moments. As evidence of
the team's great season, Smith was named Sporting News
National Player of the Week and BIG EAST Co-Player of
the Week. Jared Dudley was named BIG EAST Player of
the Week, BIG EAST Co-Player of the Week, and Sporting
News National Player of the Week. Sean Williams was
named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week. After a tough
game, the Eagle's sustained their first loss of the season
68-65 against Notre Dame. The disappointment, however,
wouldn't trip up the team on its way to continued victory.
Soon after, the team toppled Rutgers and took on Syracuse
for a thrilling 65-60 win.The team hoped to continue its
winning ways throughout the season end and into the BIG
EAST Championships and NCAA tournament.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

— Soaring on top of the BIG EAST —

H^l^^oming into the 2004-2005 season, the women's basketball

■ I team had high hopes with good reason. In 2004, the team

m V_^ soared to a record of 27-7, with the most wins in BC women's

basketball history. Winning the BIG EAST Championship and a trip

to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen set expectations high. The 2004-2005

Rseason would feature 10 returning team members and 3 returning

starters. Preseason polls ranked the team from 7''^ to 22"*', and also

t named sophomore Kathrin Ress and senior co-captain Jessalyn Deveny
as preseason All-Americans and candidates for the Naismith Trophy.
The season had the team open with a record of 14-2 and ranked 14*
in the nation. A decisive 71-50 victory over Westeni Michigan was
followed up by a heartbreaking overtime 82-78 loss to Michigan
State. The team then won the next 1 1 games, maiiy of which were
blowouts. The streak was snapped by perennial powerhouse Stanford,
hut the Eagles bouriced back with two straight wins. A 5-0 record
in the BIG EAST helped high expectations of a second BIG EAST
Championship in two years. Deveny, Brooke Queenan, arid Ress led
the Eagles in scoring with shooting percentages of .560. .525, and .572,
respectively, and senior co-captaiiis Deveny and Clare Droesch led the
team in rebounding. The team overall impressively averaged about
;20 points higher and 8 rebounds more per game than their opponents.
Several members of the team were honored by the BIG EAST: Deveny
was named BIG EAST Co-Player of the Week twice and Player of
the Week once, as well as being named to the Academic All-District
squad, while Shamika Jackson was named BIG EAST Freshman of the
Week. Coach Cathy Inglese also won her 200''' game as coach of BC
early in the season. Tlie Eagle's headed into the last part of their season
bumpily, with losses to St. John's and Connecticut, a 75-50 victoi'y
over Syracuse, a disappointing loss to Notre Dame, and a triumphaiit
win, 71-44, over Seton Hall. The women's basketball team started the
2004-2005 seasoii strongly aiid hoped see a return to the BIG EAST
Championship and NCAA tournament.

The Boston College hockey team was con-
sistently one of the top in the country this
season. After finishing the 2003-2004
year with a record of 29-9-4 and winning the
league, the Eagles continued their success this
season. The Team, under the leadership of head
coach Jerry York, started out the season with
wins in their first games against New Brunswick
and Denver, the defending National Champions.
Boston College dropped their first game against
Boston University this year, however they came
back to clench the series with two big wins over
BU later in the season. In the first game, a 6-3
win in front of a sell-out crowd at Kelly Rink,
Patrick Eaves scored two goals for the Eagles
while three other players each added a goal.
T~he next night Boston College dealt the Terri-
ers another loss in their first game at their brand
new facility, Agganis Rink. The team earned
many accolades this season. Patrick Eaves was
Hockey East Player of the Week. Mike Brennan
earned Hockey East Superskills Rookie of the
Week Honors following his superb performance
in the sweep over Merrimack early in the season.
The Eagles tallied their ninth straight win when
they defeated Northeastern 4-2 at home on Janu-

The Men's Fencing team opened
their season this fall at the NEIFC/

team was led by sophomore Alex Rios in the
opener, who finished third in the men's epee.
It was a solid start for the first meet of the
year, as the eagles had six of their competitors
make the finals. The team was led by senior
captains Steve Koza and Will Lawrie. On
December 5, the Eagle's faced Brandeis, MIT,
St. John's, Vassar, and Brown. Taking some
disappointing losses, the Eagle's barely missed
a tie against Brown, who defeated them 14-13
and took a refreshing win against Vassar 20-
7. The Eagle's again faced Brandeis, MIT, and
Brown, with additional opponent Dartmouth,
in NFC action on January 29. The Eagle's
dropped to Brandeis, MIT and Brown.
The team pulled out a tight win against
Dartmouth, 14-13. Best on the day, the

SOFTBALL

Fielding All Challenges

'he women's softball team finished the 2004
season with a record of 33-25 overall and
. 11-9 in the BIG EAST. Preseason polls
for the 2005 season predicted a fourth place finish
for the Eagles, the same as their final place in
2004. The Eagles return 7 starters from the 2004
season among 10 total returning team members.
While the 2005 team saw little change from
2004, the coaching staff underwent some major
changes. New assistant coaches Cori Van Dusen
and Brian Macchi will bring some new direction
to the team under the guidance of returning head
coach Jen Finley. A former pitcher for Providence
College, Van Dusen replaced Stephanie Fleischaker,
who had been with the team for five years.
Macchi, a former member of the Boston College
baseball team, will be the new hitting coach.
In 2004, several members of the team earned honors.
Sophomores Jenna Macchi and Britney Thompson
were named BIG EAST players of the week. Graduate
Tekae Malandris was named BIG EAST and ECAC
pitcher of the week. Thompson and Malandris
both were named to the AU-BIG EAST third team.
The Eagles hope for another successful season in 2005 .

The Eagles posted a 32-27 record
and were fourth with a record
of 15-9 in the BIG EAST m
2004. Preseason polls predicted a fifth
place BIG EAST finish for the 2005
season. Senior Drew Locke was named
to the 2005 Preseason BIG EAST
first team. Last season, the baseball
team lost to Notre Dame in the BIG
EAST Championship by a score of
11-5. Following the season, BC lost
then-juniors Kevin Shepard and Ryan
Leahy to the major leagues. For the
2004 season, senior Jason Delaney and
se^'eral graduated Eagles earned BIG
EAST player of the week honors and
6 Eagles earned BIG EAST postseason
honors. Graduate Chris Lambert was
named Co-Pitcher of the Year for the
second time in his career. Delaney
was also named to the BIG EAST
first team. Ryan Leahy and Locke
were named to the second team, with
Kevin Shepard and graduate Garrett
Greer named to the third team. After
the success of last season, the Eagles
hope to continue their winning ways
at Shea Field and return to the BIG
EAST Championship once again.

MEN'S TENNIS

Acing the Competition

To begin the tall 2004 season, the men's
tennis team was in the ECAC Men's Tennis
Invitational. A tough first round 5-2 loss to
Princeton sent the team to the consolation bracket
early in the tournament. They then lost to Stony
Brook by a score of 5-2 and to St. Joseph's by a score
ot 5-2. The team ended up finishing 15th in the
tournament, providing a source of motivation for
future tournaments. Soma Kesthely and Chris Louis
both won two of three singles matches during the
tournament. Senior co-captains Derrick Chou and
Chris McCoy and freshman Artom Bogdanovich
reached the ITA Championship to finish the fall
season. McCoy won his first match, but failed to
qualif\' for the main tournament. Chou won entry
into the main tournament and won in his first
round match, but was defeated in the second round.
Bogdanovich was in the main tournament and won
his first round match before falling in the second
round. A disappointing fall season served as a good
building point for the team during the winter. The
team dropped the first match of the spring season
to Brown University, and later fell to URI and
Clemson as well. A loss to Dartmouth 6-1 was the
Eagles second loss in as many days. Although the
men's tennis team had a rough start to the 2005
spring season, they hoped to see an improvement
as the young team adjusted to the competition.

In Fhght A singles, Szilvia Szegedi,
ranked 84th in the country, won her matches
against the 68th, 73rd, and 100th ranked
players in the country. Emily Yeomans won
her Flight D first round singles match as well.
Gia Nafarette won two of her Flight C singles
matches. Szegedi and Nida Waseem made
it to the third round of the Flight A doubles
competition, finishing the tournament 2-
2. At the USTA Women's College Temiis

matches. Waseem and Szegedi also won two
doubles matches. Lindsey Nash returned from
injury and played in the doubles tournament
with Nagarette, also winning two matches.
In the final tournament of the fall season, the
ITA Championship, Morgan Landes went 3-1
in singles play, losing in the second round ot
the main tournament. After starting the spring
season off with several losses, ii"icluding those
to Oregon and Minnesota. Coming back, the
Eagles defeated Cornell, hut was shut out by
Notre Dame in their BIG EAST opener. Nash
led the team to a 4-3 victory over Princeton.
A loss to Dartmouth, 5-2, ended the Eagles
nine-game winning streak against Ivy League
teams. While off to a rocky start in the spring,
the women's tennis team hoped to come back
strong and finish the 2005 season with victory.

WOMEN'S LACROSSE

- Sticking it to the Competition -

TKlowing a 2004 season that saw the team finish
6-11, the women's lacrosse team hoped for a new
beginning in 2005. Ending up on the short side
of many close games provided motivation for the team.
■ The Eagles spent time during the winter playing in a
" tournament in Australia in preparation for the season.
During the 2004 season, Jackie Yovankin was named
BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week. Senior Carley
m St. Lucia was named to the AU-BIG EAST first team
and senior Suzie Breaznell was named to the second
team. St. Lucia also was awarded the Athletic Director's
Award for Academic Achievement and was named to
the IWCLA Division I North All-Region second team.
The women's lacrosse team hoped to see
improvement in the 2005 season as the young
team continued to develop and work together.

SAILING

Leading the Fleet

"^he Boston College sailing team had a great fall
season. The team, led hy head coach Greg

.. Wilkinson, participated in hoth coed and wom-
en's sailing events. Quite possibly one of the hardest
working groups at BC, the sailors usually practiced about
20 hours a week, spent additional time in the weight
room, and sent many boats to multiple regattas each
weekend. The hard work paid off, as BC maintained
national rankings throughout the fall. The coed team
reached a peak ranking of second nationally. The Wom-
en's team finished the season ranked fourth in the nation.
A talented freshman class gave the already
strong group of sailors a boost this season. ■ They won
many freshman regattas; one highlight was the wiii at
the Atlantic Coast Championships at the US Naval
Academy. The coed team's season was highlighted
by an early season win at Yale, winning the Nevin's
Trophy for the first time ever, victory at multiple _ ^
iiitersectionals including the Hap Moore Team Race
at the US Coast Guard Academy. Overall, the team
won 16 regattas, five of which were intersectionals. j.
The women's team also had an excellent season with •'
highlights such as winning the Regis Bowl and placing f
fourth at the Womeii's Atlantic Coast Championships. -^

The team is looking forward to continued
success and improvement in the spring season.

MEN'S TRACK

Distancing the Opponent

ny sports team will see it as a good sign to start the
season off with a win. But, with the men's track
.team victory over Harvard in their first meet of
the year, it wasn't just an ordinary good start. In fact, it
was the first time in coach Randy Thomas' 18 year career
with the team that they beat the Crimson. And, while
senior co-captain Ashley Jefferson had an impressive
opening showing, it was an unlikely group of freshman
who put the Eagles over the top. Adam Moitoso, Frank
DiVittorio and Connor Farrell all contributed to the
season's first big win with individual successes. The last
event of that first meet, and the event that sealed the 70-
68 triumph for the Eagles, was won by the all-freshman
relay team of Farrell, DiVittorio, Patrick Mella and Jeff
Klatsky, laying the foundation for a promising year and
showing that the talent may be young, but it is strong.
As the season continued with a meet against Boston
University, however, Jefferson set out to prove the talented
freshman were being helped by some quality leadership.
He finished in the top six in each of the three events he
competed in. Coming out strong in the beginning of the
season, the men's track team laid the foundation for a
season long-standing coach Thomas could be proud of.

WOMEN'S TRACK

An Eventful Season

acing Harvard in their first meet of the season,
T the women's track team had a lot to be worried
. about — the Crimson have traditionally been very
worthy opponents. However, while the team may have
gone in with some reservations, they must have left them
all at the door. The Eagle's took nine of the 1 5 events in
the first meet and defeated Harvard in a 77-50 victory.
Sophomore Kasey Hill and junior Jessica Fazekas both
had impressive showings, each of them taking more than
one event. Hill and Fazekas were joined in success by
the cross couiitry All-American Maria Cicero and also
by senior Megan Mara, who broke her own pole vaulting
record from last year in the season opener. Freshman
Mary Heitkamp and senior co-captain Melissa Sherman
proved in that first meet that the Eagle's strength was
coming from all classes when each won their respective
event. Such an impressive first meet put the women's
track team in good standing for a triumphant season full
of victory and record setting success. The team went on to
place first in its first quad meet at Boston University. Hill
and junior Kristen Coon went on to each win multiple
events at the UNH invitational, the teams last meet in
January. Freshman Alison Fogarty was also victorious,
winning the 400-meters. Senior Saki Sugano won the
pole vault and Fazekas took the shot put competition.
At the Valentine's Invitational at Boston University, the
team had excellent individual successes, including good
showings from Sugano, Hill, and Coon. In the Big East
Championships, the team finished in sixth place, with
53 points, more than doubling its score from last year.

GOLF

Driving Ahead

he men's golf team looked forward to a bright start
to the 2004-2005 season after finishing 4''' in the
BIG EAST championships in the spring of 2004-
The BC men's golf team started the season with a 15''' place
finish out of 17 teams in the University of North Carolina
Invitational. While this seemed a disappointing start, a
bright spot was seen in the improvement throughout the
rounds. A rough first round placed them at 21 over par,
but in the second round, the team recovered to only 12
over par. In the final round, they remained consistent,
and finished the tournament ahead of two other teams.
Following the initial rough start, the team saw increased
success through the next few tournaments. They
finished 4* in the Central Connecticut State University
Invitational Tournament, then improved to 3"' in the
McLaughlin Cup. This was followed up with a 4* place
finish in the College of William and Mary Invitational.
To finish up the fall season, in the NEIGA championships,
BC finished an impressive 9* out of a field of 46 teams.
Kyle Kelly led the team, finishing 5* overall in the
tournament. After a disappointing start to the season,
the team saw a great improvement in their play, and looks
forward to continuing this success in the spring season.

iiii Stiuhiji

After a strong spring 2004 season, the women's golf team
had great expectations for the fall season. A 3"' place
finish in the spring BIG EAST championships paved the
way for a strong start. Following the leadership of coach Frank
Kolarik, last year's BIG EAST women's golf coach of the year, the
team got their fall season underway at the Dartmouth College
Women's Invitational. They placed 8* out of 20 teams. Court-
ney Tincher led the team, finishing 23"^ overall, at 22 over par.
At the Kentucky Wildcat Invitational, the team finished in
last place, a disappointing follow up to a bright start. However,
the team still had a success in Elizabeth Friel, who finished
36* overall, and Katie Napleton, who finished 39* overall.
Following this finish, the team saw an improvement as they fin-
ished in 16' place,outof 17 teams. However, much improvement
was seen in the next tournament, the Yale Women's Fall Inter-
collegiate Tournament, in which BC finished 5* out of 9 teams.
KatieNapleton finished a team best 7th overall in the tournament.
The final tournament of the fall season was the Ross Resorts
Invitational. The Eagles finished 9* overall, led by Elizabeth
Friel's 9* place finish. After a less successful than expected fall
season, the women's golf team looks forward to a spring 2005
season resembling the highly successful spring 2004 season.

WOMEN'S CREW

Gaining Momentum Down the Stretch

The women's rowing team looked
forward to a strong 2004-2005 season
after finishing sixth out of nine teams
in last year's BIG EAST Championship.
In the first meet of the season, the women's crew
team finished first in the First College-Eight race
at the Riverfront Recapture Regatta. They also
won the First College-Four race. Following this
was the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta.
The Eagles finished 17'*' in the Championship
Fours, 27'*' in the Youth Fours, and 35'*' in th
Championship Eights. While these were not the
results the team had hoped for, they provided
inspiration for the next race, the Princeton Chase.
The Princeton Chase saw the Eagles in their best
performance of the season. The Women's Open
Four team finished eighth out of 51 teams, and 19'''
out of 45 teams in the Women's Open Eight. These
finishes were what the team had been hoping for and
put them in a comfortable position for the final race
of the fall season, the Foot of the Charles. The Eagles
finished fifth out of 21 boats in the Varsity Four race,
the Novice Eight team finished ninth out of 16 boats,
and the Varsity Eight finished fourth out of 12 boats.
The team went into the winter off-season feeling
very confident for the spring after seeing tremendous
improvement after each race in the fall season.

CLUB SPORTS

A League of their Own

Almost 4,300 undergraduate students
participate in some form of athletics at
Boston College each year. Some of the most
competitive dedicated, and successful are
the men and women that fill out EC's club
team rosters. From Karate to Rugby, Figure
Skating to Field Hockey, the Boston College
cluh teams are competitive in New England
and beyond, all throughout the country. The
teams practice hard and reap the benefits,
bringing home numerous awards and rank-
ing in national tournaments. Though not all
of the cluh sports hold try-outs and not all of
them have mainstream varsity counter-parts,
and while there is less recognition for these
teams in the light of BC's varsity team success,
each and every club team is dedicated to prac-
tice and play that meets and exceeds the Bos-
ton College standard of excellence on and off
their respective fields. These teams play other
club teams or JV squads from many different
colleges and universities to hone and perfect
their talents. With squads made up of as few
as a dozen and as many as 50 members and
spanning an incredible range of activities, the
club sports at BC could not be more diverse.
One thing, however, runs uniform between all
Boston College club teams— they are built on
a foundation of hard work and team unity.

The Foundations of

PRACTICE

When a big game comes,
often the only focus is on
how a team plays in that
particular event. However, one of
the most important things leading
up to any contest is the preparation
that goes into it. Before any team
can hope to have a successful season,
they must first focus on the basics.
Leading up to every season, teams
gather for their first practices.
Whether it means arriving to school
over the summer or anxiously await-
ing the beginning of winter and spring
season practice, dedication goes far
beyond attendance at every game.
Early morning practices or after-
noon scrimmages are just the begin-
ning of what each athlete must do.
The adjustment from high school
to college sports is an immense one.
Rather than going to school for the
same amount of time of each day and
then going to practice, there is no
specific schedule. Classes are not in
a set time every day, and not every-
one does the same things. However,
practice provides a set activity that
occurs at a specific time. Even
if it means that an athlete must
take an Sam class, an athlete does
what is necessary to fit their work
in with their practice, as well as
games. As a result of this, playing

a sport requires the ability to bal-
ance time and to be dedicated fully
to something other than school.
Most importantly, the necessity
of practice does not only apply to
varsity athletes, but to clubs and
intramurals as well. While the
level of intensity is far greater for
the varsity teams, the others must
still work to play as a team and
learn how to work with each other.
Endless hours of lifting, running,
and practicing before and through-
out the season help the teams
build up strength and unity. At
the time, it is hard to see how it
will really pay off in the end, but
when the season begins and the
games, matches, or meets begin, all
of the work becomes worthwhile.
Looking up at a scoreboard or a
scorer's table and seeing BC vic-
torious is a joyous feeling for all,
whether they are on the field, court,
or ice, in the stands, or watching on
television. However, while this feel-
ing seems overwhelmingly strong to
everyone, the satisfaction of putting
so much hard work and effort into it
for the athletes makes it that much
stronger and more worthwhile.

he Boston College Fig-
ure Skating Club was
founded at the beginning
of the 2001-2002 academic year.
Since their inaugural season, they
[have grown by leaps and bounds
and have had wonderful successes.
There are tw^o components to the
figure skating club: the individual
:or freestyle aspect and the team
^synchroniied skating aspect. The
club competes in both disciplines
and has consistently moved up in
the ranking each year.
The freestyle component is much
like a gymnastics meet, in which
each skater performs individually,
but their placement and points

tare added to the team score. Last
year, because of the outstand-
ing placements at competitions

FIGURE SKATING

- Synchronized for Success -

in the Eastern Divisioii, they were
the alternate team tor the National
Championships.

The synchronized component is per-
formed as a group. Up to 20 girls skate
together on the ice to make different
formations, incorporating all aspects
of figure skating, from jumping to
edge work. Last year they qualified
tor the National Championships in
the synchronized discipline and trav-
eled to San Diego to compete. They
placed 10th out of a field of almost
20 teams. This year, the team began
the season, hoping to improve on
their standings in both freestyle and
synchro and make it to the freestyle
National Championships.

The team poses on their home ice in Conte Forum.

■;. :««;

our years ago, we were a different group of
people. We were seniors in high school who
thought we owned the world. We led our
schools with determination and overwhelming confidence, yet
there was a slight anxiety about what was to come when we
entered college. As we started our careers at Boston College
in the fall ot 2001, we were quickly bonded in a unique way as
we joined together for comfort on O'Neill Plaza on September
11*. The national tragedy and ensuing war marked the begin-
ning ot college lite and certainly has had an impact all of us.
Still, we were unwavering in our desire to make these four years
memorable for much more positive reasons. We excelled in the
classroom, in athletic competition and in numerous organiza-
tions, all while developing memories with friends that will be
the foundations of relationships for the rest of our lives. We
watched our football sweep Notre Dame, we learned of the
first two Rhodes Scholarships awards for the university, we
witnessed the purchase of the Archdiocese property that will
undoubtedly prove invaluable to future generations. We cried,
laughed, cheered, studied, agonized and partied and we did it
all together. Though our lives have all been decidedly unique
while at BC we share a common experience that will always be a
special bond; we are Eagles for lite. Marisa Fusco and Myra Chai

I finj^ n Siiperfan is one of the most iinifyint; aspects of the Boston
College experience, h is quite a sight to see the hui;e mass of yellow
in the student sections of toothall frames and at other sporting events,
where students deck themselves out in their Superfan t-shirts with pride.
Each class - seniors, junitirs, sophomores, and freshmen - is distinguished
hy the saying on the hacks of their shirts. Adorned on the hack oi the
class of 2005's shirts is the phrase "Always Believe in BC!" And with such
successful teams in all of i>ur men and women's athletic programs, it is tair
to say that Boston College students do always helieve in BC! Having great
teams to watch and support will surely encourage the graduating class oi
2005 to come hack as alumni to cheer on their Eagles in years to come.

"In no other situation would I be tempt-
ed to wear a flaming yellow t-shirt in
public, but on Saturday afternoons in

Lindsey Bazzone

"My bags are packed." -Bryan Adams

Student athletes are to be applauded for their ability
to balance schoolwork with playing a team sport, and
Lindsey Bazzone epitomizes the phrase "student-ath-
lete." Lindsey is a 4-year Varsity ice hockey player, is
pursuing a double-major in English and Biology, and is
involved in the pre-med program. Lindsey is also a part
of one of the select group of students that performs
research in the Biology department. For the past two
years, she has worked with Professor Shahabuddin do-
ing research on malaria and infectious diseases. She
hopes to continue this undertaking after graduation
as she attends medical school with an eventual career
in scientific research. Symbolic of her dual success,
Lindsey is a recipient of the Athletic Director's Award
for Academic Achievement as well as the Hockey East
Athlete of the Week Honor. Even more impressive
is that Lindsey excels even while battling the rarest
fi)rm of muscular dystrophy. Her upbeat attitude and
dedication make her an asset on the hockey team,
an exceptional student, and a good friend to many.

Macarena Corral

"Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God."

-Leo Buscaqua

Few people can say they have visited six countries, let
alone lived in six. Macarena Corral is an exception to this
rule, having lived in Spain, Puerto Rico, the Dominican
Republic, Japan, and Mexico, along with the United
States. Besides being a worldly woman, Macarena is
focused and ambitious both inside and outside of the
classroom. As a Human Development and Psychology
double-major, she takes a full course load and manages
to volunteer throughout the Boston area. She has worked
at the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center as an Emergency
Services Intern / Medical Advocate, providing support to
rape survivors. Macarena also interned at the Home for
Little Wanderers Parental Stress Line as a phone counselor
and Stress Management Coordinator. Currently, she is
working on a thesis studying cultural differences among
the American, Hispanic, and Hispanic-American social
experience. At Boston College, Macarena has participated
in undergraduate research and has been very involved in
the Organization of Latin American Affairs as the public
relations director and the culture show coordinator. What
impresses friends and acquaintances most about Macarena
is her commitment to helping others. She epitomizes the
Jesuit philosophy that advocates men and women for
others. Her extensive volunteer work and impressive
academic achievements make her a truly standout senior.

Patrick Downes

"One man can make a difference and every man should try." -John R Kennedy

A self-proclaimed "BC Fanatic," Patrick Downes truly
is the biggest Superfan. In conversation, it is impos-
sible to miss his passion and love for Boston College
and all that it represents. Since he lives in Cambridge
and many of his family members are alumni, Boston
College has been part of Patrick's life even before he
attended. He truly has made many unique contribu-
tions to the community. Patrick has been involved
in Campus Ministry in various respects as both the
director of Kairos retreats, as well as a participant
in the Arrupe Volunteers in a service trip to Belize.
He is both a committee member and speaker on the
Church in the 21st Century Advisory Committee,
formed in response to the Church scandals of 2002.
One of the biggest endeavors that Patrick has under-
taken is the Freshmen "First Flight" Convocation.
The vision behind the convocation is to add to the rich
traditions at Boston College by continuing the orienta-
tion process even after the students arrive. Patrick's
future plans involve a career in public policy or law.
His passion for people and enthusiasm for Boston
College makes him an inspiration on this campus.

'Busy" is an understatement when referring to Agie
Casule, who is involved in everything from volunteer
trganizations to culture clubs. Agie has been involved in
he African Student Organization since freshman year,
vhen she started as a dancer, holding various positions
n the club, such as vice president and her current title of
lance coordinator. As an international student, Agie has
Iso been heavily involved in the International Student
'rogram as the coordinator of the International Advisors.
Another large portion of Agie's time is devoted to the
)'Connell House. She has been a manager at the Student
Jnion, organizing and coordinating freshman programs
or the past two years. Outside of Boston College, Agie
s involved in a Ugandan dance troupe in Boston and
olunteers at a foundation that supports orphans from
Jganda, where she was born and raised. In the future,
^^gie would like to work with an intergovernmental
ir nonpartisan organization on policy issues regarding
efugees and internally displaced persons. Having
hosen Boston College due to the friendly nature of the
ommunity, Agie will miss the truly caring people that she
las met on campus. And rightly so, the campus will miss
ler generous spirit and commitment to Boston College.

Christopher Meehan

"Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort,

pain, difficulty" - Theodore Roosevelt

Described by friends as engaging and genuine, Christo-

as a both a confidante and a leader. As he looks toward
a future in law, his drive and humor will surely make
him a success. Chris is not only involved at Boston
College, but he has left his imprint on the campus
for future Eagles. Befitting someone who appeared
on America's Funniest People as a 7-year-old Elvis
impersonator, he founded Asinine Sketch and Improv

comedy group as its skit director and head writer. He
went on to become the founder and current president
of the Political Science Association (PSA). Chris is
also the editor of the PSA Newsletter, "Uncommon
Sense." He is involved in the political scene outside
of Boston College, interning for the Kerry/Edwards
campaign this fall, working with high school students
in order to stress the importance of voting. He has also
worked with Habitat for Humanity as a local project
committee coordinator. His great sense of humor,
drive for excellence, and generous spirit exemplifies
the qualities of a successful student and a true friend.

Grace Simmons

"Do what you can where you are with what you have/^Robert Schuller

In any given year, there is no greater leader on the
Boston College campus than the president of the
Undergraduate Student Government of Boston Col-
lege (UGBC). And this year, the leader could not be
kinder or more impressive than our president, Grace
Simmons. She started as a Freshman Mentee in UGBC
and held the post as Chief of Academic Affairs for two
years before being elected President. Essentially, the
president of UGBC never stops working, but some-
how Grace has found time to pursue other interests.
She was an Appalachia Volunteer and participated in
the Nicaragua Immersion Trip. Grace was an Inter-
national Advisor and has also been a panelist for the
Church in the 21st Century programs. A Political Sci-
ence and Perspectives double-major, Grace is currently
writing a thesis on democracy and governance issues,
specifically analyzing the role of international financial
institutions in combating corruption. Grace is pursu-
ing a career in Washington, looking to work for the
State Department or an international development
agency. A true leader in all respects, Grace is modest
about all that she has accomplished at Boston College.
Realizing the importance of all things in life - even the
small things - Grace will surely prove to be a success.

Ingrid Wulczyn

"Our Hves begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

- Martin Luther King Jr.

With a steadfast and passionate commitment to social-
justice, Ingrid Wulczyn has become involved in both
on- and off-campus issues at Boston College through-
out her years here. She has pledged a great deal of her
time to the PULSE Council, a group of seventeen select
students who are the student organizers of the entire
PULSE program, acting as liaisons between the student
volunteers and the many different placement contacts.
After participating in the Pedro Arrupe Nicaragua Im-
mersion Trip her sophomore year, Ingrid became further
invoU ed in service. She participated on the council dur-
ing her junior year and continued on to lead the service-
trip as a senior. Ingrid is also active in the Global Justice-
Project on-campus. She hopes to continue her service-
post-graduation through Peace Corps membership or
employment at a non-profit organization. As a graduatinj^
senior, Ingrid will most miss the group of students with
which she has surrounded herself, a group of people trul
y dedicated to the issues of social justice. While
she has grown through the support of this com-
munity, she, too, has LinJciubtedly fostered
and supported development amongst her peers.

Paul Yoon

"Some people see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never

were and say why not?." -John F. Kennedy

Paul Yoon, an ambitious Philosophy major, has been
involved in numerous organizations at Boston Col-
lege since freshman year. One of his largest com-
mitments involves the U.S. Marine Corps, as he is
an Officer Candidate. He is also largely involved in
UGBC, beginning as a freshman in the Mentoring
Leadership Program and appropriately rising through
the ranks to sit on the executive staff. Paul also has
played an active role in Asian Caucus, beginning as
a freshman representative and culminating with his
appointment as vice president. Paul has volunteered
in the Intersections program as a Halftime Summer
Council member and retreat leader. He is a member
of the Christian Soldiers and is currently the Teach
for America Campus Campaign Manager. One of his
favorite memories at Boston College involves the class
History and Development of Racism in the United
States, for which he has been a teaching assistant for
three semesters. Humble about all of his achievements
and possessing a quiet confidence, Paul will surely
excel after Boston College whether he pursues a ca-
reer in teaching or service work. He truly is one the
most talented and motivated people in the senior class.

Life in the Mods

t open houses and orientations before even coming to Boston College in the fall, a major concern of all incoming
freshmen is where they are going to he living that first year - Newton or Upper campus. People who live on
L.Upper probably like it from start to finish, while the people living on Newton probably learn to love it after a few
months and would not trade campuses even if they could. Housing is also an issue sophomore year, as well, where students
are either lucky enough to be somewhere on Lower campus or stuck on College Road. While Lower campus sophomores
enjoy suites. College Road people have double rooms and are frustrated with their Lower campus friends for never coming
to visit them. And finally, students are spread out in many locations junior year, with some people living off campus around
the Brighton area and others residing somewhere abroad in Europe, Asia, Australia, or another foreign destinatitm. This
distance, combined with laziness and bad weather, made it even harder for friends to see each other on a regular basis..
It is not until our final year at Boston College that the senior class comes together as one. Whether they are in
the Mods or in one of the many senior dorms, the members of the senior class ai^e reunited on Lower campus for
their final year as Boston College students. They are no loiiger a bus ride or walk across campus away from one
another, but rather they are just minutes from each other for the first time. This reunion sets the foundation for
their senior year, where they can easily meet up with friends and have the senior privilege of registering parties.
Li\'ing in the Modular Apartments - or "the Mods" for short - is a traditional seiiior experience. Only the first couple
dozen lottery picks have the option of livirig in the Mods, and people who choose to live in Mods understand that
it is their responsibility to be hosts or hostesses to their friends who live other places around Lower campus. With
their nice backyards, grills for barbequing, patios, and two floors, the townhouse style living oi' the Mods make it a
prime hangout for tailgating, weekend parties, and various other get-ttigethers. With an exciting football season,
which included a Notre Dame defeat for the fourth straight year, and the unfathomable World Series victory for
the Red Sox, there was definitely enough for the class of 2005 to celebrate - unless you are a Yankees fan, of course!

out with my friends more accessible and we get to have the best
housing and best parties on campus!" - Christine Marchese

BC vs. ND

We hope you brought a broom... it's a sweepl

i atLirday, October 23, 2004, was a day to remember for all Boston College students. On this day the Eagles of Boston College
■ defeated longtime rivals, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, with a score of 24-23. This fourth consecutive victory was especially
y bittersweet for the seniors, as it would be their last rivalry game ever. In actuality, it would also be the last for many Boston
College students, given that the two teams will not play each other again for several years. However, this year's game was special
to the senior class for other reasons. This particular year, the game was played not in Alumni Stadium, but halfway across the
country at Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. Road trippiiig to South Bend to watch two of the biggest rivals in college football
is often associated with the senior class, and this year was no exception. One could see many RVs parked in the Mods the day
befc-ire the game, ready to make the 14 hour long trip to Notre Dame carrying Superfans ready to cheer on their Eagles. The game
was also sentimental to this year's seniors, who share their last year at BC with Boston College's last year in playing Notre Dame
for a while. For every member of the class of 2005, the BC/ND rivalry formed an important part of the foundation of their college
experience, and four wins during their four years doubtless motivated them to live up to their class slogan - Always Believe in BC.

"Notre Dame game = the greatest gift they could give a
senior. Knowing that you have so many Boston College seniors
around you cheering for your team, your best friends - decked
out in as much BC apparel as possible - right beside you, and
a scoreboard saying "BC beat ND" for the fourth time in a row!
Nothing could be better!" - Kate Henry

We Will Never Forget

'September 11^^ united this class, this school, and this country in

a completely unique way' - Christine Boccieri, *05

Where were you on the morning of September 11, 2001? Only
a mere week into our first year as college students, our lives
were changed forever on that fateful Tuesday morning. Some
people were directly affected by the tragedy, losing close friends and family
members. Others knew people who lost a loved one. And still others did
not know anyone who lost someone, but were still emotionally involved as
citizens of the United States whose country was just attacked. Whichever
category you fall into, it is safe to assume that you were affected that day
in your own individual way. Chances are that you also remember the
details of the day pretty precisely without trying too hard. I surely do....
I remember where 1 was when 1 found out what happened and
who told me. 1 remember trying to call home to see if everyone I knew
was okay and not getting through because the phone lines were all busy.
1 remember going to Devlin 008 to watch the live coverage and going to
the prayer service on O'Neill Plaza at 12pm. I remember finally getting
through to my mom at home in New Jersey and hearing the news that
our good family friend worked in the South tower on the 95* floor and
that no one has heard from him since the towers fell. 1 remember crying
and hugging my roommate, whom I met less than two weeks earlier. I
remember doing nothing for the rest of the day. I remember hearing back
from my parents that they still had not heard from our friend yet and that
they were all at his house with his wife and son, just waiting. 1 remember
wanting so badly to be there and going to bed still not knowing if he was
alive. I remember being in a daze for the next few days. 1 remember
students chanting "USA" in the Mods on Friday and Saturday nights. 1
remember talking about the tragedy in classes rather than continuing
with our regularly scheduled lectures. And lastly, after about a week
or so, 1 remember finally having to accept that my friend was gone.
There surely are many stories like this one. The class of 2005 was
put into a very unique position that day, which set the foundation for their
Boston College experience as a unified community. As vulnerable college
freshmen, we were living away from home for the first time and only starting
to get to know our new friends. With our normal support systems miles away
all over the country, we were forced to come together as a class to help one
another grieve the loss of a friend or family member, or just to comfort each
other at a time when we did not feel safe in our own country for the first
time in our lives. No matter what September 11*, 2001, means to you or
what memories, feelings, or emotions it evokes in you, the class of 2005 will
always remember the continuing kindness, generosity, and support of their
fellow classmates during and after this very difficult and confusing time.

"No familiar face was around to comfort you, but somehow, you
could still find that comfort in the strangers around you. The BC
community came together, and people from all different parts of
the country were crying on each other's shoulders and just being
there for each other as friendsr - Justin Virojanapa, *05

It's scary to think that well
all have jobs soon and be in
different places. I can't imag-
ine not having my friends
around. Ill miss being able
to see them whenever I want.

Getting advice from the Career Center!

Graduation will mark the
culmination of a multi-layer
education here at Boston
College. We are now pointed
in the direction of the fu-
ture, and though we may
feel intimidated by the next
chapter, I think we will be
able to draw upon lessons
from the past four years in
the varied situations we will
encounter as we continue on
in our lives.

Job searching at the Career Center

Eagles Leave

the Nest in

Search of

New Heights

As the class of 2005 comes to the end of their journey through Boston College,
the lives of these seniors will branch out in a myriad of directions. Some
will plan to attend graduate school, while others will prepare to enter the
workforce. Still others may take the time to travel the world or serve our country by
entering the military. Whatever paths these seniors choose to take, they share many
of the same hopes and fears about what will change after graduation. Most notably, the
fear of proceeding into the unknown and leaving the familiar behind strikes even the
most ambitious seniors. Whether it's exchanging backpacks for briefcases or leaving
Boston for Europe, it's always scary to have to face the real world, no longer having the
comfort of Boston College watching out for you. However, counteracting that fear is
the excitement of moving forward and beginning a new phase of life. Boston College
has formed a strong foundation for every senior, on top of which they will be able to
build successful lite experiences. It has given each of them the education, life lessons,
and confidence that will enable them to succeed in whatever they put their minds to.
Without a doubt, the class of 2005 will take on their new challenges as ambitiously
as they did four years ago in embarking upon the very journey they now have to end.

Gregory Pavlov needs a break!

"Senioritis is a malfunction in your decision-making agencies,
making you capable of blatantly ignoring responsibilities and
leaving you fearless towards all consequences. Your body follows
without question, reaching for any and every sign of good company
and a good time. The best part is, senioritis is contagious - even
without words, a simple conniving smile will do the trick in
convincing a fellow senior to drop everything and just enjoy lifer

- Eun Jo

"It is really tough to
concentrate when you
know that it is your
last year and you just
want to be spending
time with your friends.
When it comes down to
deciding between doing
homework and going
out, it's hard to make
the academic choice!'
- Rochelle Schneider

Joel Tejada

Seniors Fight to
Fight Senioritis

It can hit at any time, whether it be just before final exams or just before the first day of classes. It's that sense of slothfulness that
creeps into the brains of seniors and paralyzes them from caring about anything remotely academic. Manifesting itself in many forms,
it includes constant television watching, extreme partying, or everyone's personal favorite: falling asleep at the library. While one
: kind of senioritis is caused by the laziness of embracing the end of homework and exams prematurely, another kind deals with the fear
of entering the real world the following year and thus the desire to try to live it up as much as possible before real responsibility sets in.
Whatever the causes, one recurring symptom of senioritis is the absolute lack of desire to do any type of "work," as many seniors are ending
their lives as students forever. Instead of studying for that huge history test Tuesday night, many seniors will be seen partying at The
ilKells. Rather than work on that final paper, others will be caught watching old re-runs on MTV they've seen 25 times, or perhaps more
honorably, having fallen asleep at the library in earnest attempt to work. No senior is safe from this highly contagious disease. Having
become such an epidemic here at Boston College, it has left many to wonder, could there be any cure? The class of 2005 hopes not.

"It is dangerous
when you begin
in September
with the motto
"Live it like it's
Senior Week all
year long!"

The friendships I have made
at Boston College will last a
lifetime. The stories we share
and the experiences we have
had.,, they will never be for-
gotten.

- Barbara Gallo

Elisabeth Marangell and Elizabeth Amento

Losing the housing lottery
and getting the worst hous-
ing every time doesn't matter
when you do it with great
friends! Friends always have
fun - whether its Newton,
College Road, or Edmonds!
It doesn't matter where you
are but who youYe with!

- Elizabeth Reeves

in Malloy, Garth Swenstn, Knb IVIandcrs, and Rich Bucolc

Rupa Kumar, Marisa Brown, Monica Suarez, Rochelle Schneider, Kristen Faucetta, and Saya Dempsey

Friends
Forever

Moving away from home for the first time, leaving your family and high school
friends, and knowing no one except for the handful of students you met at
orientation can be a very intimidating situation. But throughout the first
semester of freshman year at Boston College - or even during orientation - many
students built a support system and circle of friends that will most likely last them the
duration of their college experience. Graduating seniors can look at their friends in
May of 2005 and see faces they have known all four years, as well as the faces of people
they have met along the way. And not only do many friendships at Boston College
last from start to finish, but they will most likely carry on into our adult lives as we go
through life changes, start new jobs, get married, and have children. Boston College
sets the foundation for friendships people will keep for a while, and while we cherish the
times we had together during college, those good times will not end after graduation.
Our friendships instead will continue to grow and mature for the rest of their lives.

"Friendships at BC have changed a lot for
me, but similar to high school I finally
found good ones who I will always keep
in touch with. Vm so thankful for that!'

- Harper Yielding

"You must go abroad! I wen

I made at BC. Being able tc
experience another culture
in that type of setting is an
amazing experience. It's an
opportunity that should be
taken advantage of by allr

"To all the freshmen, watcH
out when you are down in the
Mods because all the houses
look the samer

^ ^^^^^p^ he extraordinary lives we are all living while
at Boston College would not be possible
without immense help from parents, families,
faculty, staff and administration. Similarly, our ability to docu-
ment a year in the life of Boston College students in this 92"*^
edition of Suh Turri would not have been possible without the
wonderful generosity of our patrons and benefactors. Their kind
donations have allowed us to present the highest quality pub-
lication. More importantly, their support has acted as a great
encouragement to the Sub Turri staff and has demonstrated that
our seemingly endless hours of hard work are appreciated. For
these things, we extend our sincerest thanks to the men and
women whose names appear on the following pages. Marisa ¥u?,co

y'^''^ ^^ apturing a year at Boston College in 504 pages
f J is a daunting task. There are certain days that

||teS"^^ seem like they would require 504 pages! The

preceding pages are simply a small sampling of what it meant
to attend Boston College in 2005. How can one accurately
encompass what it means to he a Boston College student? For
nearly nine months the campus is filled with unforgettable events
that are worthy of recording, whether they include the whole
school or just a couple of the closest of friends on a late night
away from the cold. There are no words, there are no pictures
that can replicate the excitement of a game at Alumni Stadium
or Conte Forum, the energy of a orchestra or a capella concert,
the communal understanding during the finals crunch. There-
fore, the academics, student life, organizations, sports and senior
moments and memories are meant not to depict everything that
it means to he an Eagle. Rather, they are to serve as a founda-
tion for our own distinctive stories; they should act as a spring-
hoard for the rehashing of events for many years to come. We
opened with advice from St. Augustine and we close with similar
advice from Henry David Thoreau. May both serve not only as
excellent reminders of your life at Boston College but also as
foundations for your life to come. Is^ayisa Fusco and Myra Chai

or (Boston

For Boston, For Boston,
We sing our proud refrain!

For Boston, For Boston,
'Tis Wisdom's earthly fane.

For Boston, For Boston,

Till the echoes ring again!

For Boston, For Boston,

Thy glory is our own!

For Boston, For Boston,

'Tis here that Truth is known!

And ever with the Right

'Tis time shall be no more

And thy work is crown'd.

For Boston, For Boston,

For Thee and Thine alone!

"Do you know who I am? 1 don't know how to put
this, hut.. .I'm kind of a hig deal. People know me."
Really? No, not really. Huge thanks to Kat— 1 couldn't
have asked for a better co-editor.. .you rock! Thanks
to Myra and Marisa for being awesome editors in
chief and for all the delicious food! And for those of
you who didn't notice. Academics is definitely the
coolest section.

Congrats to my senior friends!! I'll leave you all with
some words of wasdom from my favorite show, Sein-

est tor the trees."
"Yeah, I don't know what that means."

So when I received my application for Sub Turri for the
second time this summer 1 thought, maybe it wouldn't
hurt to sign up for a club where I was actually making a
commitment that would force me to DO something with
my free time. Have to admit I had reservations, yearbook
in high school took up my life, there were laughs, cries,
and even a few good slaps (it was four girls tied up in an
office smaller than ANY dorm room.) My experience this
year however was far more enjoyable. Sub Turri gave me
the opportunity to meet a bunch of awesome girls, and
to work together to create something that we are all truly
proud of The Academic Section isn't exactly the most
popular or most exciting section of the book but we gave
it all we had. Carolyn thanks so much for working with
me this year, not only were you a great co-editor, but a
good friend. Marissa & Myra, thanks for all your help and
guidance, you guys put together an awesome staff and an
amazing book. So anyway, I hope you all enjoy and if you
don't. ..Carolyn did everything, it was all her I swear!

1 wanted to simply turn in a drawing of a stick fig-
ure of myself, but 1 couldn't so instead it's just words.
Nhu is the best person ever. I remember when I was
a freshmen on the staff, and I was the one who did
all the work, so it could be that that's just how it goes
in the natural order of things. But in this case, that
is not the case. I was a lazy senior, and Nhu was just a
good editor. Anyway, we bonded though, over differ-
ent cultural histories, random food we found around
the office, and just because we were awesome. Our
staff was awesome too. Ya'U rock. I'm also from
Texas, and that rocks too. The editors in chief totally
rocked this year as well. Marisa and Myra, ya'll were
great! So thanks to everyone. Have a great year next
year and I'll see ya'll later! :)

I would like to thank my co-editor, Elizabeth Ethun, stu-

for such an excellent year. I would like to acknowledge
that despite the slower than a sloth computer, and stu-
pid printer, the Student Life section managed to create
some kick ass spreads. I thank and love my parents and

their support. Sht)ut out to the nine hundred people in

I wish the dining hall had more rice, and le.ss chicken.

I can't believe that this year is ahnost over. As an editor
of the Organizations section, I had NO idea how much
work would be going into this book. From emailing, to
calling, to handing out flyers, the organizations have
definitely been difficult to get in touch with. 1 want to
thank my co-editor, Vy Vy, for all the late hours she put
in and the beautiful pages she has made. You've done an
EXCELLENT job! Of course, I'd also like to thank Myra
and Marisa for being so understanding and helpful to me
and each staff member. Good Luck to all the Seniors!

Organizations is without a doubt the most difficult section
in the yearbook. However, I have for the most part enjoyed
the experience as a freshman. Thank you to my co-editor
Dori for making the endless phone calls and hunting down
every club with me. I also want to thank the Sub Turri staff,
especially Myra and Marisa for putting up with me and for
always understanding. I couldn't have done it without you.
Even at the point of freaking out, I continued to put those
hours in like it was my job, but I definitely enjoyed being a
part of Sub Turri. To all my friends at BC, you all are what
keeps me going here. Thanks for the many laughs and good
times, which I'm sure there are many more to come. To
my family and friends from home, thank you for keeping
me sane and for all your support. I miss and love you all.

.'d like to thank everyone on the Sub
Furri staff, especially Myra and Marisa,
or making my first year on yearbook so
;njoyable. It has beeii amazing to work on
;uch a friendly and talented staff. I'd also
ike to thank Aubrey and Claire for being
imazing co-editors. Long hours in the Sub
Furri office were always interesting, but
ve somehow managed to pull everything
ogether in the end. Even it it meant I
aad to come all the way from Newton for
1 1 5 minute meeting, it was a lot of fun
md a great experience for my freshman
ear. I'd also like to thank my parents and
brother for always being there for me and
iupporting me in everything 1 do. And
inally, thanks to all of my amazingly sup-
lortive friends here at BC and at home.

Thanks to Myra and Marisa for all the help,
encouragement, and, above all, the patience.
Katie and Aubrey — you were so dedicated
and so talented, 1 learned a lot about yearbook
from the two of you and I would have never
survived without everything you did. The
teams got all the recognition they deserved
because of you two — 1 know this year was
only the start of an amazing time at BC for
both of you. For the ladies of Walsh 224,
there aren't enough words to say how much
I love you girls. We are, and will always be,
wholly inappropriate and loving it. Finally,
thaiiks to everyone in Chi-town — Kyle most
especially — for enduring the late night phone
calls when deadlines were swiftly approaching.
Here's to beautiful memories and bright
futures — Best of luck to the class of 2005!

I have had a wonderful experience this
year on the Sub Turri staff. 1 feel lucky to
have joined such a productive and well
organized club as a freshman. I would like
to thank Myra and Marisa for giving me
the opportunity to be a Sports Editor. You
have done a fabulous job and should be
very proud of this hook! Thank you to Ka-
tie and Claire for being the best co-editors
ever. You girls really stepped up to the plate
and made our section great. I am looking
forward to future collaboration with you.
Thank you to my parents for your sup-
port and sending me to BC. Also, thank
you to all my friends here. We may have
only known each other for half a year,
but I know our friendship will last much
longer. Thanks for all of the great times!

Working on the Senior section this year has been such
a great experience for me and so much fun! Having the
largest section to work on has been tough at times, from
collecting candids to getting quotes, hut it has all been
worth it, and I could never have done it without my awe-

hard to make this section great and for being a great friend,
I am going to miss you so much next year! Thanks also to
Marisa and Myra for doing a fantastic job running every-
thing this year and for being such great editors to work
with, not to mention chat with in the office. Always many

Working on the yearbook with such a great group of
people has been one of the best experiences I've had
at Boston College. I've made some good friends, and
I'm sad to leave everybody! To Erin, I hope you have
as much fun with the yearbook in the next two years
as we did these past two years. To Marisa, I'm going to
miss gossiping with you in our lovely, clean office. And
to Myra, you're insane for doing everything that you do,
but that's what I love about you! Keep in touch, girls!
I would also like to say "HI!" to all of my friends! Can
you believe we're graduating already? From the people I
met on my first day here back in Keyes North to everyone
else I've met throughout the years, each one of you has
made my time here at Boston College that much better.
It's been a fantastic four years, and I wish you all — as
well as the rest of my fellow graduates - the best of luck!

First and foremost, Sub Turri, we're done! Myra and Marisa,
you guys were the best EICs ever. The "thank yous" should
come next, because without these people here, my tir^r
semester probably would've consisted of lone late-nigh i
food runs and crying over exams on my own. The '08 girh
- dramas and bubble teas, hoys and shopping - and the 'CS
guys, 3 more long and enjoyable years to come. The 1705
boys - thanks for including me in your nightly fiascos and
making me feel like the "6''' roommate." Edmond's guys,
we loved yt)ur oven and the rest of KSA, you guys made
freshman year awesome. To my roomie and Rcj, you guys
made dorm-life just that much more bearable. So here's
my rribLitc to the past year and a noi.1 lo the ^'^vm to come.

last a lifetime. I'd like to thank the 2005 Business Staff

graduates, I would like to wish you all the best of luck and
much happiness and success in all your future endeavors!

I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about
being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what
bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero
of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a
hero. The music he's created over the years, 1 don't re-
ally listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect
that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what
product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today?
No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.
Thanks everybody for making my first year a blast, especially
Myra (who never sleeps, spends her life doing yearbook and
a dozen other things), Marisa (who has nothing better to
do with her life except dedicate it to yearbook) and Lindsay
(who teaches me everything). Looking forward to next year.

(graduate intern

I've truly enjoyed the past two years working with the
yearbook. Having never worked with a yearbook before,
jumping in as the grad intern for the yearbook was a
potentially daunting prospect, but I was welcomed with
open arms. Thank you Marisa and Myra for all your won-
derful work as EICs. Lindsey, it's been great working with
you this year and getting to know you better. Mer, thank
you for being such a wonderful supervisor and friend. To
all of the Sub Turri staff, it's been great getting to know
you during my office hours. I wish all of you the best of
luck and success in your continued time at Boston Col-
lege, and in your lives afterwards. I leave you with some
words of advice on the meaning of success in one of my
favorite poems by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Please take these
words to heart as you try to find your own success iii life.

To laugh often and much;

to win the respect of intelligent people

and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics

and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,

whether by a healthy child,

a garden patch

or a redeemed social condition;
to know everi orie life has breathed easier

because you have lived
This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

It I had to pick one thing that Suh Turri has taught me it is that you have to
expect the best and prepare for the worst and hopefully the end product will
be closer to the former. I am exceptionally proud of this book and what we
have done throughout the year. Though there were certainly ups and downs, and
sometimes more downs than ups, the outcome was a yearbook that, in my humble
opinion, will stand the test of time and 1 am extremely grateful for being a part of it.

To the 2005 staff of Sub Turri, a million thanks are owed to you.
Being a first year EIC on a college yearbook is a daunting task to say the
very least and I appreciate your support, enthusiasm and tremendous
dedication. You should all be very proud of what you have done.

Myra, you never cease to amaze me. You are perhaps the most talented
and energetic person 1 have ever known. Thank you for being a great friend
to endure the insanity with. From battle scars on our first days as ElCs to font
issues to gossiping to 17 hour days in the office, we have certainly been through
a lot together. This book would not have been what it is without your hard
work. Thank you for everything, especially for finalizing everything while 1
was in Belfast. You are amazing and the foundations have certainly been laid
for a wonderful friendship. By the way, what are we going to do next year??

Taylor, Lizabeth and Jay, life at BC simply wouldn't be the same without
you. Thank you for all your encouragement, for listening to me complain, for
understanding why I couldn't spend more time with you and, most importantly,
for always making me laugh. I couldn't ask for better friends or better excuses
not to do work. I love you girls! To all my other amazing friends at BC and
elsewhere, you are my strength. Each and every orie of you brightens my life
whenever you are a part of it and for that I am eternally thankful. To my family,
I did it! Sometimes that meant that I lost touch and sometimes it meant that we
drove each other nuts even with many miles between us but I can only hope that
the outcome, this book and my yet-to-be determined future, makes you proud.

And Matthew, it is truly impossible to give you proper thanks in a few short
sentences but I take comfort in the fact that you understand me and understand
that you enrich my life mind, body and spirit every single day. You are amazing
and my life as it is would not be possible without your unwavering faith in me and
in our relationship. I love you more than I have ever found the way to say to you.

It's hard to believe that it's been an entire school year since the debacle
that was the Sub Turri office in late August and now after a seemingly
bigger and cleaner room yet another yearbook has been published.

To Marisa. I can't believe we pulled this thing off. How are we honestly going
to one-up this one? Maybe next year we should hit up Lower again over some froyo
and brain storm some ridiculous themes and then, BAM, next thing you know, it'll be
the best thing EVER - again. It's remarkable how well we got along. . .can you imagine
that 1 7'hour shift if we didn't? By the time you read this, you'll already be in Belfast,
so I hope the last couple of months have been amazing. I know I'm going to miss our
daily chats and daily rants, but I'll deal. If not, you'll be getting a lot of emails.

To the staff. You guys were fabulous. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better
and funnier group. The deadlines were hard but the late night/early morning freak
attacks and my perpetual life in the office were worth it. Thanks for enduring the long
hours and my freak attacks. I hope you're as proud of this book as I am and know that
none of this could have been possible without the combined effort of everyone on staff

On behalf of M ^ 2 : To Mer, thank you for all the advice and guidance during our
weekly meetings. To Susan, the answering machine would have certainly exploded
without you. And Peter, you were absolutely amazing this past year. This book would
iiot have been possible without your countless hours working with Marisa and I.

To Katharine, Cara, Beth, Megan, and Asia. What can I say, it's been an
incredible two years and there are so many memories I don't even know where to
begin. Thanks for listening to me rant about orgo and stalkers, for preserving my
sanity, for smacking me dowii when I tried to join another club, for making me
laugh, and for just always being there for me. Welch 214 time was a bit limited
this year, but the times we spent together were amazing/ridiculous. Love you guys
so much! To the rest of my amigos at BC, from 4Boston, Appalachia, Ghana, SAP,
Dance Marathon, and everywhere else, I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't
for you. Lunch dates, orgo bashing fests, O'Connor laughs, etc., it was all worth
it 100 times over. To my LA'ers, you guys mean everything to me. What would
I do honestly do without your perpetual smackdowns? And finally to my family.
Thank you for keeping nae humble, for checking up on me when I disappear off the
face of the earth, and for being supportive of everything (well, almost) that I do.

So that's it. I hope you've enjoyed this book as much as we did creating it.

The Foundation
2005 AT

BOSTON COLLEGE

So what was the launching point
of the year for you? Was it the
way you stood outside Copley
Square on a cold November night and
waited for the election results? Was
it the way you stared incredulously
at the more than fifty-one iriches of
snow that fell in Boston before you
madly dashed outside and swam in
it? Was it the way you believed in a
Sean Williams "block" party and later
stormed Conte after the Syracuse game ?

When we think about it,
2005 cannot be attributed
to just one event, one
launching point, it was something
more. More than any other year in
the city's recent history the country
and the world focused on Boston.
Kerry's presidential run and the
Democratic National Convention
brought thousands to American's
historical city. We believed in the
Red Sox made a country believe and,
admit it, laughed and cried after that
classic Nike commercial. Crowded
around a TV with our closest friends
we rushed Lower then Kenmore
Square. We watched the beginning
of a Patriots dynasty and watched
our own dynasty in the making. Can
you remember the last time Conte
Forum sold out for a basketball game?
We dreamt Shakespeare through
vibrant color and quotes. Democrats

and Republicans alike, we listened to
Howard Dean. And then we brought
it back home and voted for our next
UGBC President and Vice President.

The year itself brought about
significant changes. Fixed
prices for salads and frozen
yogurt sparked complaints, but as
the signs in the dining halls proudly
stated, we never knew how much
a salad would cost from day to
day. Plans for the Brighton campus
officially began as a variety of options
ranging from graduate housing and
extra parking to new administrative
buildings and a student center to take
its place were tossed around. A new
Philippines service trip marked the
farthest country a school-sponsored
trip has ever ventured. And finally
students pushed harder and harder for
a new Ethnic Studies major while the
Asian Studies program added higher
level courses in Chinese for students.

As Seniors left their second
home, they hoped to focus less
on the tragedy of 9/11 that
brought them together freshmen year
and more on the renewed hopes for
peace, the hopes for an even greater
BC than the one they first came to.
They embarked forward and worked
for bigger causes than they'd ever
known but remembered too that it was,
always, always for Boston. Myra Chai
